The Christmas Chronicles

The Christmas Chronicles (2018 November 22)

Netflix Original Movie
Availability: Global

Plot:
Two children try to prove Santa is real with video footage, but they accidentally cause the sleigh to crash in Chicago. The children must help Santa get back on track before Christmas is ruined.

Review:
Rating: Watch it / [It depends] / Skip it
  • Holiday movies are usually pretty formulaic. While this isn't a great movie, it's a lot of fun and manages to stand out from the usual Christmas movies with a different take on Santa. This Santa doesn't suffer any nonsense and breaks the law when necessary. It's a wild ride. With some of the content and language, this movie skews for teens and above. While it easily could have been made for younger kids too, it's definitely not. As a Christmas movie with low standards it's not bad. As a movie in general, it's not very good.
