This film has all the cliches of a Christmas film but CGI and Kurt Russell help bring it up beyond the usual dross. It works perfectly fine as a seasonal film but it does not have anything special about it which will distinguish it and allow it to stick out in anyone's mind. It would be hard to recall a specific magical moment and is unlikely to be remembered by a child in the same way that Elf sticks in the mind. It's harmless fun and whilst it's nothing special, it's head and shoulders above the usual rubbish pushed at every December.
Adult score: 3/5
