Another The Rock blockbuster, aimed at a younger audience and right on time for the festive season. With Kasdan on board, I guess they hoped to recreate the Jumanji remake magic. They didn't quite succeed this time. There's enough silliness present, but the film just isn't all that fun.
Kudos for trying to do a contemporary update to the Christmas setting, but they didn't seem to have too many good ideas. The performances are lifeless, the lore isn't too interesting and the comedy rarely hits the mark. There's a lot happening and it never gets excessively boring, but memorable this is not.
