Like pulling teeth....l

Rating: 2/10 (13 December 2012)

Jude Law goes all camp and wants all the children in the world to stop believing in Isla Fisher, the Easter Kangaroo, and Alec Baldwin as the slightly aggressive Santa with a non-specific but hilarious accent.
Jack Frost comes to save the say by causing near fatal accidents on our usual safe conscious roads.
Hilarity should ensue.
The first thing you realise about this film is the lack of love and care it has compared to other Dreamworks projects of recent years.
It feels rushed, the animation isn't up to much, and it's main crime is that it's boring. Its been claimed by many that this is the Avengers of local legends, which sounds enticing for sure, but when it comes to a head, the most interesting characters are sidelined in order for Jack Frost to be the hero.
The character has been done a dozen times before, the cheeky young lad who doesn't remember his past, causes lots of trouble and yet redeems himself at the end. Yawn.
Jackman and Baldwin are left to nothing more than support, and this is a shame, as they could have been something that livened up the film.
Law is easily the best thing in this movie, and in fact his Pitch is a great animated villain of recent memory, like the Hans Gruber of the animated world.
Other than Law, the film is a complete stinker, mechanical right down to the rusty cogs and soulless.
Dreamworks have really sold out with this.
No fun.
