A refreshingly different type of Christmas movie to kick off the holiday season that we are already wanting to watch again. Watched this with the kids and we all fell in love with the movie. A very sweet and clever film where multiple characters are played by the same actor yet I found myself being connected to the characters in different ways. The humor is quite sophisticated rather than slapstick and the kids (aged 8, 10 & 12) all picked up on the jokes. They were all engaged in the story (my 10 years old jumping up and down with excitement when the tension grew) and felt entertained throughout even though the film flowed with a gentle pace at times. The villain of the film is not terrifying yet quirky, engaging and believable. The style of movie making also leaves quite a bit to the imagination, showing no actual harm or danger which made it a very clean, wholesome family movie. Some of the tunes are still being sung around the house as after just one viewing the kids now have new Christmas songs stuck in their heads. The songs were as catchy as some of the one liners that were so well crafted I'm guessing I'll likely pick up more when we watch it again... which we'll probably do a few times this season. This film is a great example of really good, passionate independent film making.
