Northpole is about a boy in a town that has lost it's Christmas spirit. This boy hasn't lost his, though, and he attracts the attention of a Northpole elf (Northpole is a city where Santa and his elves live), who befriends him. Together they must find a way to spread Christmas cheer or else Northpole will lose it's power.
Basically they ripped off 2003's Elf. Never mind. Is the movie enjoyable? I would say it is, in general.
The best shot in the film is the first one, where the city of Northpole is shown, and then it zooms up to a cliff where Clementine (the elf) is watching the skies with a telescope. In fact, all the scenes in Northpole city look pretty cool. I like the design of it.
Unfortunately, most of the film takes place in the boy's town, which is very generic. And the town's not the only thing that's generic: the plot, the characters, and the dialogue are all pretty much standard fare.
It's like a Hallmark card; predictable, sentimental, but not overtly tacky.
