I personally thought this was a decent Christmas movie, wasn't the best Christmas movie but it was still enjoyable to watch. Eddie Murphy wasn't his usual over the top funny but I understand it's a PG rated family type movie. I thought D. C young fly was funny as the news reporter lol, Jillian Bell did a good job as pepper, the little statue people were funny. The whole plot of the movie was entertaining finding the gold rings. This movie did have its funny moments, boring moments and entertaining moments. I would say it's entertaining enough for a one time watch atleast. Maybe young kids would enjoy it much more.
