Thoughts on The Christmas Chronicles

The Christmas Chronicles is insane. The actors try to make something out of the craziness but it comes off futile. The tone is all over the place and makes the movie very confusing. Kurt Russell makes it watchable but it is very silly. It is unique and at least seems like it is trying to be fun. It just glosses over aspects that should be serious and revels in the chaos and opts to be a kids dark comedy. It is a Cat in the Hat story at its core. If only the ending didn’t make the entire movie basically pointless.  It is better than a lot of other Christmas crap out there so it is worth seeing if you like holiday movies.
