I was surprised by the low ratings. I almost switched it off (it was at 3.9 when I first checked). Decent performances by all concerned and sweet story about a man who has never grown up. Not overly sentimental and quite funny in places. Has a hint of Elf mixed with a dash the Grinch. John Ducey does a passable impression of a more restrained Will Ferrell. He didn't quite carry it off but made an admirable effort. Not sure the budget was great as many of the background effects are c1970, especially many of the snow scenes.
If you want a movie to get you in the festive spirit then you can't go wrong with this. I can only assume The Grinch is responsible for all the low scores. Bah humbug.
