This is absolutely the worst live-action Christmas-themed film I have ever had the displeasure to watch. The suspension of disbelief required to watch this movie and enjoy it would be overwhelming to anyone with more than a few neurons firing upstairs.
It's too painful to relive this in my mind, so I'm not going to go into a long diatribe about what a piece of garbage this is. I'll start and end with one thing. The neighborhood has a political commissar in the form of Dan Akroyd. We're supposed to actually believe that, or at the least, find it amusing. The screenplay seems as if it was written by an extra-terrestrial who crash-landed in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. There is nothing redeeming about this film and I'm surprised that this was even made.
