Parent Verdict

One of the safest modern holiday comedies. Minor flags: Buddy unknowingly joins Jovie while she's showering (nothing shown), he chugs whiskey in the mailroom thinking it's syrup, and there's a raccoon attack and an angry dwarf fight played for laughs. The Santa-is-real premise is affirmed throughout. Great for ages 5 and up.
