Critics Consensus

Wrapped in slick packaging but wholly lacking in holiday magic, Red One is a ho-ho-hum action-adventure.

Audience Says

Led by The Rock, the entire ensemble delivers ample servings of naughty and nice that may leave you humming, “Oh what fun it is to ride in a Red One open sleigh.”

Katie Walsh

Tribune News Service

A confounding project that is clearly trying to be for all audiences (it’s weirdly kiddie-oriented, but feels more aimed at adults) and is so bad it ends up being for none.

Rated: 1/4

Jesse Hassenger

AV Club

The aggressively secular and gift-based systems of Red One are almost enough to prompt a moist-eyed holiday wish for more piously churchy seasonal entertainment.

Rated: C-

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

This is the big American blockbuster of the week, and it is absolute crap.

Dwayne Johnson has played this same type of character for so long now, and in so many movies, that he has become an imitation of himself.

It’s as though the filmmakers wanted to create a Christmas film with the thrills and stunts of a Mission: Impossible movie but forgot to include any of the heart or magic that makes Christmas movies so beloved.

If “Red One” is meant to mark the beginning of the filmic Christmas season, the holidays ahead look to be more dismal than anything.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson does it again! The Rock’s delivery of holiday-themed quips combined with his physical performance alongside your favorite holiday characters, made for an exciting new tale about St. Nick! Mix in a great supporting cast that includes Captain America, who was great in his own right, the adventure kept everyone engaged throughout. Besides some curse words that kids will have already learned in hockey years ago, this movie captures the spirit of Christmas for kids and adults! Red One was original, funny, action-packed, and is certainly in my top 3 favorite holiday movie list!
