It will go down like gangbusters with the tykes, but I couldn't wait to empathically navigate myself out of the theatre.

Blizzard is the "annual fruitcake" of kid's Christmas movies: sticky, ugly, and entirely confusing ... as in "Who thought I'd actually enjoy this fruitcake?"

An instant holiday classic overflowing with the true spirit of Christmas that will bring as much joy on subsequent holiday viewings as it does the first time around.

The Santa story seems lifeless. The child's drama wrapped around it, however, is sweet, involving and is much more authentic.

The wardrobe and sets are amazing capturing the essence of the era. Beautiful clothes. It's quite enchanting also.

what a yawn. So much promise but the ridiculous North Pole story was beyond me. The editing was rubbish.

Could be cute at times but it also takes itself way too seriously. The characters can be a little "too good to be true" and Santa Claus is just to uptight and intimidating. He's not the jolly pot bellied man in the red suit we all now and love. Instead he comes across as Albus Dumbledore figure. It sorta clashes with the whimsical aspect that this film was trying to convey.
