Actors: Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, Lucy Liu, J. K. Simmons, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Nick Kroll, Kristofer Hivju, Wesley Kimmel
Rating: 8 out of 10, Not as bad as you might be hearing from
the critics. The cast is outstanding and the duo of the Rock and Captain
America are perfect foils for each other. The Rock oversees security for Santa
Claus and spends the movie trying to find him after a kidnapping, assisted by
naughty lister Evans. I know, a silly premise but it works as they devote
themselves to playing it straight, as if this could really happen. There’s also
a less than subtle message about Christmas and family which is always welcome.
I really enjoyed the movie and the action was credible, even when they’re
fighting rogue snow men sent by the Christmas witch. I know. As I said, silly,
but it works.
MVP:
Evans as the naughty guy, Jack O’Malley
