DVD Review: Consider yourself warned!
Summary: 2 Stars
My apologies to Candace Cameron-Bure, because I really like her, but this movie just didn't cut it.
Candace plays a young woman who grew up as her father's (Tom Arnold) right-hand man in "Santaville". He was Santa and she was his elf. She couldn't even call him "dad" because Santa doesn't have children, just elves.
Later, as a workaholic adult, she takes a break from her job in the city and returns home when her dad gets in an accident and needs help. She finds Santaville in deep financial trouble and her dad in denial over the whole thing.
Thinking she is helping her dad keep Santaville, she signs a contract with a slimy character who is so obvious in his sinister role that if he had a moustache you would expect him to start twirling the ends of it. She has actually just sold out to developers.
*Spoiler Alert*
The knight in shining armor in all of this is a quiet young man working for her dad--someone she had met briefly years ago, but has now forgotten. He all but works for free, since there isn't enough money to go around and he seems to get by. He spends his spare time puttering in the workshop. Just when things look their darkest, his supposedly amazing handmade nutcrackers come to the rescue, selling for hundreds and thousands of dollars--saving Santaville and putting it back on the map. It is hard for me to believe that the people who put this together actually thought the items they used to represent his amazing nutcrackers would even pass as nutcrackers, let alone amazing enough to sell for the sums they claim. Other family members who viewed this felt the same way.
I really wanted to like this movie because I liked the main characters, but the acting wasn't always up to par and when they started having everyone go crazy over these wooden dolls that could have been made in junior high shop class, that was the last straw. Was there no one on the set who could say, "These aren't that amazing and they aren't even nutcrackers"?
I don't expect Christmas movies to be realistic--after all, we are talking about Christmas time when magic is in the air, but I do expect some measure of believability within the "Christmas" framework. If that is not critical to you and you just want another Christmas movie to add to your collection, this one at least will probably not offend you with anything inappropriate. Your whole family can watch it together, but once may be enough.
