This movie is aggressively stupid and corny, and I loved every minute of it.
Sally Jane BlackDec 14, 2018How come adults in these types of Christmas movies don’t believe in Father Christmas and yet just accept that presents appear under their tree every year?

I’d believe in Santa again, if it was Kurt Russel.

Santa said that The Dark Ages are the result of him not being able to deliver Christmas gifts throughout those years, so I say we put him on trial for the war criminal he truly is.

Dumb and charming. Kurt Russell is spectacular in a silly, slapstick story about the “magic” of Christmas. Campy, comfy, and convenient.

Good Christmas movie
Soujahwitch likedThe Christmas ChroniclesIt was cute
Maddie likedThe Christmas ChroniclesThis was an extraordinarily cheesy movie, but I found myself charmed by the end of it. Kate was endearingly stupid. If Kevin McCalister can booby trap his home at 8 years old, then she could have avoided the dumb decisions she made at 10. Plus Kurt Russell was weirdly hot as SC

This movie was really fun and unique!! I would label it as a one of its kind XMAS traditional movie (like Polar Express and Elf). It was also cool that I watched this during XMAS. Surprisingly a sad and fulfilling movie. Also…hear me out on Santa…
MovieDaddy lovedThe Christmas ChroniclesAn instant holiday classic. Kurt Russell may be the perfect Santa Clause, and the story packs a hard punch to the heart. You may actually shed a tear when you’re not just absolutely loving the adventure. Brilliant Christmas tale!
Juliana Cabral likedThe Christmas ChroniclesTwo kids try to catch Santa in this simple but engaging holiday film. Kurt Russell‘s charismatic Santa stands out and strong music and design boost the festive feel. minor logic flaws aside it’s a fun family Christmas movie. 7/10

The whole thing is out-and-out tinsel-dunked tat, but oddly honourable with it – the Christmas spirit might be just a few steps up from bathtub grade, but it still packs a kick.

With its saccharine score, saturated cinematography, and trite platitudes, the film is formulaic and forgettable except for Russell’s performance as the lovable legend.
