my girlfriend talk me into see this movie because she love christmas movie . i do not generally mind them either and so i go . i be bore . i be not often bore and especially at the movie and but maybe that because i be careful about what i pay ten buck to see . i be truly disappointed in the lack of comedy and writing and or anything else that usually go into make a movie . tim allen wasn not funny and martin short be really annoy a usual and and the head elf this time around be a little nervous guy with a lisp . who the filmmaker ride a if it a stroke of comedic brilliance . the only thing this film have go for it be that it have santa claus in it and be release at christmas time . boo and hollywood . shame on you . but i guess i fell for it and and maybe kid who marvel at shiny thing and bright light like it .
