As a child for three years in a row my parents dropped me at the local grind house to see this while they went Christmas shopping. I'd need to see it again to give an adults opinion of this movie and I haven't, so it being a Christmas movie who parents subjected their children to, I will give my child's opinion on this...
Hey mom and dad...this movie really stinks!!! Why do you keep leaving me alone in a dark theatre to to watch an exceedingly painful movie that forces me to face my own mortality when I'm only 8 years old? Come on folks...I'm a child I don't need this now. I have a life time coming up to worry about my own demise. So...is watching a kid my own age be found dead under a Christmas tree Christmas morning someone supposed to make me full of The ol' X-mas cheer? Why are you doing this to me!??? Next year could you simply lock me into a closet while you go Christmas shopping instead? I'll be fine...I'll play with the shoes.
