If you haven’t heard of Roku, check it out: Roku Express 4K+ | Roku Streaming Device 4K/HDR, Roku Voice Remote, Free & Live TV. My family dropped our expensive satellite dish service and switched to Roku many years ago and have saved a TON of money! I highly recommend it!

Santa gets kidnapped just a few days before Christmas, so his Head of Security has to reluctantly team up with an infamous bounty hunter in a globe-trotting, action-packed mission to find and save The Red One.

The movie was directed by Jake Kasdan. Writing credits go to Chris Morgan and Hiram Garcia. Already, the film has been nominated for “Best Original Score” by Henry Jackman at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards.

I love Dwayne Johnson in all of his movies. He’s such a stud-muffing and always looks like he’s having a blast. He should be having fun because he just got paid $50 MILLION dollars to star in this film.
Academy Award winner J.K. Simmons does a great job as a different kind of Santa. This is actually his second time playing Santa! His first Santa role was in the 2019 movie Klaus.
Bonnie Hunt is always so great. I loved the sweet moment where she didn’t even say a word, but lovingly put her hand on Dwayne Johnson’s face. She said so much with that kind gesture.
It hurts my heart just a little bit to see Chris Evans as a bad guy…a level 4 Naughty-Lister. He should be Captain America forever. Ha ha Both he and Dwayne Johnson were named “People’s Sexiest Man Alife” in 2016 and 2022. On a related note, Prince William just recently beat out Dwayne Johnson as “Sexiest Bald Man”!
It was also fun to see Kiernan Shipka, Lucy Liu, and Kristofer Hivju, who all did a good job.
Santa’s village sure has gotten a high-tech upgrade.
There are all kinds of new kinds of creatures as Santa’s helpers in the E.L.F. team. Cute. We’re also introduced to a lot of creative “bad guys”.
The giant reindeer were cool even though they looked super CGI.
Fun stunts! The action sequences and fight scenes are very creative.
Some of the special effects are pretty cool.
There’s a lot of humor.
The makeup and prosthetics team did a fantastic job.
You’ll never look at a snowglobe the same way again.
If you like superhero movies, this kind of felt like one.
There’s a lot of heart in the story and I felt all the feels at the end.
If you’re looking for a different kind of Christmas movie, here ya go!

Film critics have been hating this one, awarding it an extremely low 38% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s not a perfect film, but I, clearly, enjoyed this a lot more than other film critics! There is a lot of good to be found in this fun flick.
I don’t know what was going on with Dwayne Johnson during the filmming of this movie, but apparently, he consistently showed up on set late, causing everyone to wait for hours and an extra $50 budget increase. Not cool, Rock. Ironically, he criticized Vin Diesel for doing the same thing while filming the 2017 movie The Fate of the Furious.
Santa kept calling the reindeer “ladies”. Aren’t they all guys, traditionally? Yes, they are; however, only female reindeer keep their antlers during the winter!
This should be a kid’s movie, but the content is a bit too mature and inappropriate for young kids.
