Good for the budget, wouldn't recommend though.
crashingrainbow-1995929 November 2020
Well this movie is filmed and mostly edited well, it doesn't seem like the actors have had any experience or classes, the storyline is bleak and I just wouldn't recommend it for children ages 8+. My older daughter who's 14 didn't enjoy this movie but I think it can be nice for those who have young children around 5 years old. My 8 year old seemed disinterested. The only reason we really watched it is because a family friend from Vancouver has personal connection with one of the people who created this film. Other than that the music video was quite nice.

There are better ways to torture yourself
meganmacdonald-295573 December 2021
This movie is the whole package. Not only is the acting next level terrible but the camera work, the green screen work, the script and costumes are equally as bad.

You could make a better movie using a potato. I recommend watching a 10 hour video of paint drying on YouTube instead of you're after a better way to entertain yourself.

This movie was also clearly filmed in no more than 2 rooms and the worst part about that is that they don't even try to make them look different. Keep an eye out for the same wooden shelf against the wall and the close up shots trying to hide the fact they were always in the same room.

If you do decide to go ahead and watch it, maybe have a bottle of something close by as this movie would also make the perfect drinking game.

Take a shot every time there's a close up shot Take a shot every time it's obvious the actors are sweating Take a shot every time an actor over does their facial expressions

While this belongs on the list of the worst Christmas movies for several reasons, it does however earn a spot on the best Christmas drinking movies.

Bad and Cringy
mcdonald_max31 December 2020
A lot of the acting and visual effects are quite bad. Also the background music is quite loud in contrast with the actors voices.

Don't waste your time!
paulradford-6267125 December 2020
I created an account on here just to write this review. Absolutely ridiculous film. Acting from the whole cast was atrocious. The "evil" elf should just give up trying to act. If you don't have the budget to create a proper Christmas movie then don't! Turned it off after half an hour

Don't bother

Nothing to redeem this film. I've seen better acting and directing in a D grade porn film. Save yourself the trouble, there are plenty of other choices.

Terrible
hippobunny9015 December 2021
The acting is overdramatic and cheesy. I can't say much for the plot because I couldn't get through more than 30 minutes. Save yourself the time and give it a miss.

Creative storyline for a christmas movie
Step_612 November 2020
Family movies often have some of the most creative plots, and this definitely proves that point. Great acting as well for an indie flick, would recommend for families.

The movie was quite entertaining. Enjoyed the story so much. I will definitely be playing this again, this Christmas holiday season, and for seasons to come. The soundtrack was amazing as well.
