Legit laughing at all the “anti-woke” comments having a melt down over a black Santa and them claiming this hates on their Jesus. That in mind while none of that even crossed my mind to be bothered over (and I’m still not - get over yourselves fellow yt ppl) - the movie is just … really bad. Like - shockingly bad. It’s almost like they had 3 movie scripts and then just cut and pasted entire scenes together. The gasp I gusped at this completely random scene where the son sneaks away at the track match to dance in an empty room at the school (guess we’re just throwing random stuff in without any care for an actual plot bc what?! 😂) - all while the mom tries to tell off a teacher who is trying to tell her that her son is failing his class - AND while she - and an entire stadium of people - watch men try and MURDER Eddie Murphy in the middle of the field (I’m not mad about the fighting it was just bizarre and felt randomly thrown in). And then the guys all turn into boards and NO ONE seems disturbed by this. Everyone just carries on with their day. Either the other people can see it or they can’t - you can’t write a script where it goes both ways and expect it to make any sense? This has an A-list cast filled with truly talented actors. So it just goes to show how not even that can save a script this bad. Maybe the world just doesn’t need a mash up of Jumunji, Christmas, Halloween, and a touch too much of Hallmark this year - or ever honestly.

Because women are not in fact just waiting around to be saved by a rich couple and paid to be a pedophile and a groomer. We’re usually the victim and making a joke about this in the way this movie does while never actually having the guts to confront it head on is shameful. Mind blowing levels tone deaf. Not even remotely funny. The ONLY redeemable quality was a phenomenal performance by Andrew Feldman. I just hope next time he isn’t forced to be in a role this pathetically written now that he’s paid his dues.
