He Caan stay at the North Pole for all I care!

Rating: 5/10 (8 December 2003)

A typical christmas movie, full of light hearted comedy, family
values and packed to the brim with sick inducing sentiment.
Thankfully, the comedy is actually funny (unlike many of it's
contemporaries), mainly due to the lead character Buddy played by
the new comic genius of WIll Farrell. Having found his
performances hilarious in `Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back' and
`Old School' my expectations for his performance in this film were
still fulfilled thankfully, despite it this film actually being pretty dire. It all moves along well enough and is moderately entertaining, but
the end was a little too much to stomach for me with the obligatory
sentimental christmas message. The story and ending are
painfully obvious and adds nothing new. Unfortunately all the best
jokes were used in the trailer so if you are after something fresh
and funny, just watch the trailer and save yourself an hour and a
half.
5/10
