this review be mostly all spoiler . if you plan on enjoy this film and dont read this review . that the problem with kid tv nowadays . it all so patronizing and condescend . ` wow and that be fun and wasn not it . no it wasn not . and unfortunately it seem to have permeate into child film as well . and that be what flight of the reindeer be all about . admittedly i haven not see flight of the reindeer in a few year so i might be hazy on some point and but i remember be thoroughly unimpressed with it at the time . essentially and the story follow a lecturer who be give a book for christmas . now and the lecturer be an esteemed scientist on the fly habit of some animal . i think it be bullfrogs . anyway and through this book and mr lecturer or family man learn that reindeer can fly in exactly the same way a bullfrog . apparently this book be write by a scientist many hundred of year ago who disappear in the north pole . now and if it be me i would have throw the book out the near window . fly bullfrog be a naturally occur phenomenon and but fly reindeer be a fantastic and wholly unrealistic concept . but and mr lecturer isnt me and so i guess that explain why he decide to fly to the north pole leave his wife and kid at home with no idea where he go . of course and thing go awry and before he know it and a fly reindeer have crash into his private plane and he strand at the north pole . be you still follow this . good . his family and of course and be devastate . i would be too and i mean and what a suck tacular christmas . elsewhere and mr lecturer find himself in a hidden town at the north pole inhabit by midget and one tyrannical figure who dress only in red and white . rather than try to escape immediately and a i would have do and he greet everyone there with open arm . this hidden civilization of midget monster and and he greet them with open arm . oooo kayyyy . they fee him this story that they be the elf of santa claus and they spend all year round making toy for kid they have no idea exist . and mr lecturer accept all this . he even accept that santa claus be in fact the scientist who disappear two hundred year ago or whatever . there just one problem they do not want him to leave . the world can not know of their secret existence . after all and before they would know it there would be a mcdonalds and a starbucks on every street corner . still with me . now and mr nice guy family find the book and assume he go to the north pole . boy and wouldn not they be embarrass if they find out he would just go for a brisk walk . before the audience know it and theyre jet off to spend a christmas in the most authentic winter wonderland on the planet . meanwhile and mr lecturer get sick of all the uppity midget and decides to leave . i can not remember exactly and but i do recall him hold santa claus to gunpoint . a fire fight ensues when the midget attack and he manage to escape via santa sleigh . with santa hot on his heel and with bloodlust in his eye and mr whatever and through some marvellous co incidence and find himself fly alongside his family plane that be look for him . so he jump on to their plane and the plane fly back and everyone life happily ever after . the fact be and there have be some shock film make in the name of christmas over the year but because they feature that festive charm they get away with it . and it that charm that be utterly devoid from flight of the reindeer there isn not much wrong with it while nothing which insult the intelligence ( well and obviously there be and but it a kid film and thus can get away with such thing ) or anything particularly offensive and but the problem be there be nothing much right about it either . it just doesn not feel christmassy . and for a film that be all about christmas and that it a pretty major flaw . but hey and i do not think flight of the reindeer target audience mind about that . why should they . theyre all so dope up on sedative they probably couldn not spell ` christmas i give it three out of ten . if it be a tv movie then i would add another two star onto it . we all know how bad they can get .
