I am not dead set against the notion of a Munsters reboot. However, when I began watching "The Munster's Scary Little Christmas", I couldn't help but notice that some of the new cast looked and sounded little like the originals...especially Grandpa. In addition, while they made up Sam McMurray to look a lot like Herman, he sure didn't sound like him and the cheesy laugh was absent. His Herman seemed much more subdued and sullen. So, as you watch this one, try NOT comparing it to the originals, as the cast comes up short.
The plot finds the Munster family trying to throw a special Christmas for the sake of Eddie. This is because the boy is in a funk because he misses Christmas in Transylvania...and Christmas in California is quite disappointing. While Grandpa tries to conjure up some help, he accidentally strands Santa at the Munster home as well as his jerk elves. Can the Munsters manage to still pull off a great holiday?
This is just okay....nothing more. As I mentioned, the characters didn't seem quite right and I felt the subplot involving the elves being enslaved jerks really didn't work for me. Not completely terrible...but not very good either.
