🎄🎬 "Red One" *No Spoilers" PG-13 2hrs. Highly highly recommend it

We watched on Apple TV. Also Prime and in theaters.

Very clever. Great story encompassing lots of parts of Christmas. Really good message.
Good dialogue/banter between the two main stars. There is violence but no one really gets hurt. I’d say around 10 “S” words, almost an “F”.

I always love to see a movie’s take on the workshop, sled, reindeer (female), and the rest. This didn’t disappoint. Minute details so it’s worth another watch.

👍

JK Simmons as Santa
Dwayne Johnson
Chris Evans
Kiernan Shipka
Lucy Liu
Bonnie Hunt as Mrs. Clause.
Oh and Mary Elizabeth Ellis (“The Waitress” from Sunny in Philadelphia) took me a while to figure out where I knew her from.

JK. Simons never disappoints. And The Rock is.... It's not bad as some of this type movie can be.

And the skillful hand-waving of a lot of physics questions about the annual journey, which should help parents with curious children who still want to believe. It's a really well-done movie. My favorite scene is the attack of the snowmen.

Santa’s brother. They stretched the right amount and saying Krampus created the naughty list was clever.

I liked the redemption element of Jack and Dylan getting out if the snow globes.

From the start Santa’s message was spot on to me.
