Candy Cane Lane is exactly what a True Christmas movie is all about! I loved it from beginning to end! It was original, funny, heart-warming and decked my halls with bounds of wonder!
The special effects, the storyline, the characters-Sure, there was a weird line with the reports when it came to Santa: Santa can be whatever we picture him to be. Heck, watch Urkel Saves Christmas and you'll know what I mean on how one imagines Santa.
Pentatonix (Or how its spelt) guest starring as little figures in the movie!? That is so awesome! I've heard their music even the Christmas album so its pretty rad they got a role in the movie!
The most important thing in the movie: THe magic! The magic of Christmas, the importance of family and a classic holiday adventure for kids fo all ages to enjoy! This is what we need back! Good ole Christmas magical adventures like this!?
Plus the way they approached the 12 days of christmas. The lords-a-leaping had incredible suits and sick leaping moves, the 3 french hens were actually French hens wearing french outfits even the classic "Pierre Style"-and don't get me started on the maid a milking scene-That cow must of had a LOT OF Vitamin D to share to fill a room up.
Let's not forget Chris's carving skills-he hand crafted his decorations by hand which is really amazing. Also Carver for a last name? Carver since he carves christmas figures and other stuff? :3 How clever is that-And when ya listen to the names of his kids and wife you'll get the 'Christmas reference' right away. ;)
I'd so watch the movie again and again-if they bring it on dvd/bluray, so would buy it! Been a long time since Eddie Murphy was in movies and he's still got that acting magic!
