Japanese Movie '' Black Night Parade '' is a fantasy Christmas comedy. It is light, crazy at times, and has a killer cast to boot.
First of all, the movie is indeed Christmassy, even though the story is about the black Santa, the enemy of the red Santa Claus. And even though there was potential when it came to the story, in the end, it was just an okay story with some action scenes, some heartwarming moments, but not enough time for the plotlines to properly progress and develop.
The humor was, on the other hand, decent enough. Not laugh out loud, but not cringe either, though some scenes were over the top.
The performances were enjoyable as well, with every actor and actress in the cast doing a great job with their characters.
So, overall, four out of ten.
