I went to the cinema to see this movie some years ago (best not to ask) & I can safely say it was the worst film I have ever paid to watch. I recognise there are Varney fans but, reallly, was there any need for this to be made? With so much decent Christmas celluloid & decent slapstick around, it would be a shame to waste a couple of hours of your life on this poorly-written mess (the only decent gag in the whole thing is the film being trailed within this callled Santa's Christmas Slay - "He knows who's been good & bad, & he's got an axe" - now that's something I'd pay to see!)
If you want cool, go buy the 60s animated version of The Grinch. If you need schmaltz in the festive season, go buy Miracle on 34th Street. If you just want good kid's entertainment, go buy Muppet Christmas Carol. Just don't buy this. There is a difference between childish & child-like & Ernest just doesn't get it.
