Very cute - and I HATE Christmas

Rating: 7/10 (1 December 2004)

I just hate Christmas - I really do. I hate everything about it. But I really enjoyed this movie. It was by no means brilliant - no comedy of this kind could ever be called such - but it was incredibly sweet and adorable. If you are someone who doesn't like cute or silly humor, you will hate this movie. It's the sort of thing that might give you a toothache. But if you like cuteness and silliness - innocent, simple humor - you will love this movie as I did.
Yeah, it's full of all the typical lame Christmas schmaltz and the santa stuff and all that groan-worthy "christmas spirit" pap, but I was able to enjoy it anyway, for the same reasons I enjoyed the old puppet rudolph and frosty shows. It's done in a very cute way that makes it palatable. It really made me laugh (in fact, at one point I had an uncontrollable giggle fit over how cute it was) and days later I still think about it every now and then and smile.
Again, not a smart or brilliant movie, but very sweet.
Also, I totally agree with others on this board - that Infinifilm thing is just terrible. I really liked the movie, but if I were going to watch it again I'd want to just watch it - not have these interruptions, and if I were going to watch the special features (which I would have loved to) I'd want to just access them without having to go through the whole film again. JUST TERRIBLE! I was disappointed I didn't get to see the special features but, forget about it!
