Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer

I don't remember ever seeing this one before. For someone who knew the song very well, but not the film...wondering where have I been? If I have, it was a long time ago. It is definitely based upon the song, which is silly to begin with so the movie is just the same, far-fetched, yet considering the song and the animated movie match, it was exactly what it was supposed to be in a crazy and weird kind of way. They just made a move based on the song because they could, but that's about all. However, it turned out to be not as bad as I thought it would be, so I was a little pleasantly surprised. It's not a complete waste of time, but worthy of at least one viewing. Happy Holidays IMDb and everyone reading this review for 2017!

This movie makes me not want kids so they would never have to see this four fingered, fruitcake tasting , Ace Attorney courtroom drama abomination of a Christmas movie.

Cousin's hot though.

Trite and tiring, the one-liners almost made me cry. My 4 year old left the room and ended up doing a puzzle. I don't know what age group this was written for, but the writer himself/herself didn't even want credit. As for the song, it's mildly amusing. At least it was a decade ago. There are many Christmas movies to watch. Although I've seen some many more times than this, they are still enjoyable. Whenever this comes on, I try to encourage my child to watch something else. One positive note, that allowed a vote of 2 instead of 1, is that it encourages good moral values. That would have been encouraging, if anyone were watching.

When this first came out as a song, it was amusing, a light chuckle along the lines of Weird Al's Christmas at Ground Zero. That was over a decade ago. Now someone's decided that we need a 50-minutes explanation of the backstory behind the song.

The storylines not bad...it's the sort of Christmas special that seems naggingly familiar, from the courtroom scene (Miracle on 34th Street) to the tycoon buying a locally run store (Gremlins 2). The animation is crude though, with a cookie-cutter feel to it. The producers apparently felt that we needed more songs by the same artist, all of which are lethargic one-verse ditties devoid of humor.

One thing I'll give credit to: The 'evil tycoon' at least is written by the books. But overall, this novelty of a video makes a better bookstop than anything else.

Horrid...Truly horrid. The movie revolves around some kid who, by then SHOULD HAVE outgrown Santa. His personality is completely one-dimensional and his catchphrase is "yeeeeeasssssssss!!!". his family isn't much better. Granny has an irritating voice and at least is mildly entertaining (but not much). The evil salesman and his ugly sidekick are both as cookie-cutter as you can get. Santa's nothing new, and grandpa looks like some ripoff of the Disney Gepetto. With that out of the way, I'll go on about the story.

Once again, Christmas is just some big spend-fest. Religion isn't mentioned ONCE. I grew up in a Christain family and went to a Christain school, and I can tell you, I do NOT like ChristiansBut I still respect them. You know why? Because they're just living the way that they see as right. Christmas is not about giving. It's not about getting. It's about the birth of Jesus and that is the way it is. Giving is just a tradition that commemorates the 3 gifts presented on that holy day. Santa thinks he can cancel a holiday just because some people don't acknowledge him. When he's found to be real, you'd think people would've been more surprised. So Christmas is portrayed as "Santa Day", celebrating some guy that doesn't exist.

The songs are bad. Too bad to talk even more about. And the acting is even worse. I don't even know how they got a few pros to do this chunk of crap. The story is just completely unoriginal and the jokes...That was the ONE THING that got unjust treatment. Had the jokes been in a different movie, they would've been pretty good. The animation...If you can call it that, looks like it wasn't even drawn by hand. The character's chins wouldn't move when speaking, the tongues looked terrible, it wasn't inbetweened. They didn't even get good artists! I could do better...And that's no exaggeration. I mean it. I'm 14 an I could draw AT LEAST 10 times better.Really. Stay away from this, at all costs.
