We watched The Christmas Chronicles on Netflix this past Sunday. Obviously, it's meant for kids. I thought it was okay, considering the target audience. Seeing Kurt Russel play a sorta bad-ass Santa was kinda cool. Watch for some pretty cool cameos in the Jailhouse rock scene.
My 6 year old was completely riveted by this movie. She usually doesn't watch an entire move from beginning to end without getting distracted or bored at some point, but this one held her attention the entire time. Usually she cuddles on the couch with one of us parents and talks through an entire movie, but once this flick started to find its groove (basically when Santa shows up) she moved to a chair all by herself so that she could concentrate on watching the movie, lol.
Anyway, if you have elementary-school age kids, watch this movie with them. If you're an adult with no kids, maybe skip it.
