Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Wonderful character development!

Very disappointing...

An Exercise In Nonsense

This movie is extremely cliché in all: not only the overused Christmas tropes but also Jake and his family. The animation style is very flawed. The drawing style is okay and well colored, but the animation lacks fluidity in many parts. The songs were laughable in the bad way, because they are just shoehorned and they don't contribute to the plot at all. And no, they are nor beautiful and there aren't good lyrics to compensate their gratuitous status.The plot is badly done, because they miss many things. In example, the time isn't enough to declare someone disappeared and Jake puts the people to taste a rotten fruitcake to prove Santa's innocence. There are many badly decided moments on this film. The Santa's idea also is poorly thought. Putting Grandma in his house? It would be far smarter to send her to a hospital. That way, all of Cousin Mel's gambit wouldn't happen. That is super idiotic and shows how weak is the storyline.Among the characters, no one is likable, relatable or interesting. At best, you can remember Cousin Mel and Grandma for being extremely attractive. Characters are too unbelievable, cliché and uninteresting to be memorable.The voice acting in general is decent, but Grandma's voice is beyond awful. She seems to have eaten helium and her voice is unbearable.This film is bad, but it can be kind of entertaining and you can laugh of the bad things of the film. It is watchable, at least.

This is the worst Christmas special to ever air on television. There is this young kid named Jake Spankenheimer, who is just the most sickeningly-sweet and annoying kid you could ever see, whose Grandma, who sounds like she inhaled a tank of helium, was run over by one of Santa's reindeer. Yes, this is based on the novelty song. In fact, they even sing it in the beginning of the movie while everything is happening at the same time. The characters even say the freaking lyrics as they are doing what the song's lyrics describe. So, the movie REALLY wants to make sure that you know that it's based on the novelty song. But this movie puts a twist on the song, saying that the whole reason Grandma was run over was because of the in-your-face, b*tchy, fake-southern-accented, flamboyant villain cousin Mel, who tried to poison Grandma's fruitcakes which would somehow lead to Grandma selling the store which would make something... I don't know, I kind of stopped listening once I heard the title song. But it's not just the voices, or animation, or even the dialogue that make the movie bad, although they sure are contributors. It's the songs. One novelty song is enough, but we also have "Grandma's Spending Christmas Christmas With the Superstars", in which Grandpa sings about how he thinks Grandma is dead but isn't sad because he knows that she is in heaven having Christmas with Elvis, and... Elvis ('cause that's all he lists), but he sings it to jazz/rock 'n' roll. And also "Grandpa's Gonna Sue the Pants Off of Santa", which has cousin Mel and her accountant/lawyer/lesbian lover singing that Grandpa is (insert title here) because he's going to find out that Santa ran over her, and for some strange reason when they sing, they do it to tropical music/background while they wear samba outfits, spouting out the dumbest lyrics a novelty song could have: "Grandpa's gonna sue the pants off of Santa that's what grandpa's gonna do. Grandpas gonna sue the pants off of Santa. Cause grandma would have wanted him to. Grandpas gonna sue the pants off of Santa. He knows the law is on his side. Grandpas gonna sue the pants off of Santa. Santa's going for a ride! *Arriba*" Oh yeah, I'm gonna be humming that all week. But aside from that, the movie also rips off Miracle on 34th Street and other movies, has the stupidest villain ever, an annoying Grandma who thankfully gets run over by a reindeer, and little Jake, who is twelve (or whatever) yet still believes in Santa and is so annoyingly-sugary-sweet and good-hearted that I so dearly want a reindeer to run over him. Nothing in the special was right. It was boring, annoying, had horrible songs, had horrible voices, and it even had bad animation (Is that a dollop of whipped cream on Grandma's head? Oh wait, that's her hair). Skip this movie. This is the equivalent of finding a lump of coal in your stocking.
