Daniel K I put on it as a joke, but I gotta say the entertainment value my girlfriend and I received was extravaganzalorious (I felt like I was going to bust…if you know you know) pro tip: during the dancing scene only watch the elves in the back, their dead eyes and killer dance moves will bring holiday cheer to the whole family. I give it a chippy out of I don’t know thanks anyway byeeee Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Keith N This was my childhood, I used to watch this every year with my family Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Audience Member It's a somewhat decent Christmas movie. It's a 20 minute short film so it's not like it wastes your time. There are some undeniably cringy moments when the elves sing and the songs in general. Although I'm not much of a fan of the plot I can appreciate it especially when it came to the older brother who didn't really believe in Santa nor the elves and when he diddled (touch) the elf. Reason I say this is because obviously when you're older you don't really believe in Santa or the elf but you still gotta keep the spirit for the younger kids alive because if you just straight up say to a kid that Santa ain't real. Ur kinda just a dick. If your a kid I would recommend. Older audience, not really. Out of 10, I'll give this short film a light 5 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review Audience Member I’m 17 and this is my favorite mini christmas film Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Audience Member Good for kids, but bad for literally anyone else ever. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/12/24 Full Review Jeremy S Love how cheerful it was and my kids loved the movie Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
