Synopsis: A baby is raised as an elf in Santa Claus's workshop.
Appraisal: I guess the children enjoyed this film, but they are obviously undemanding spectators. That critics have loved it so much is what I find perplexing. While not devoid of some (low) amount of entertainment value, its development is just "more of the same", including an improbable love interest. And of course they couldn't do without the mandatory workaholic and neglective father, only this time he is under the pressure of an evil CEO; an atypically inquisitive child might wonder whether that CEO was also under pressure, but most of them will buy this hypocrisy without blinking. Just like they will not ask themselves: did this movie fail to meet its release deadline? And does that mean that all the participants in it are insensitive workaholics? Or is the megacorporation behind it an exception in a world of greedy, soulless capitalists?
