Starring Eddie Murphy as a married man with children who enjoys Christmas and hand carving, painting ornaments and festive house and outdoor decorations which he displays in front of his house every year along with the rest of his neighbors on The Candy Cane Lane.<\/p>\n<p>Each year, a prize is awarded to the House with the best decorations and this year, being no different, Dad and his best neighbor begin a friendly war over who will win the prize for the most beautifully decorated house.<\/p>\n<p>When he decides he needs to go bigger to defeat the neighbor, Dad and daughter go hunting for more ornaments. That&#8217;s where the fun begins. They come to a new pop up shop filled to the brim with everything they could possibly ever imagine needing for their outdoor extravaganza.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The proprietor, happens to be a mischievous elf with dastardly deeds up her sleeve and unbeknownst to him, Dad signed up to be her latest victim.<\/p>\n<p>When he purchases the \u201cMagical Partridge in a Pear Tree\u201d package, he is unaware that all of these characters in the song will soon come to life.<\/p>\n<p>While I didn&#8217;t enjoy the unnecessary sexual innuendos tossed in, that might be right up your alley. \u201cWhatever gets you through the night\u201d, right?<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t give spoilers beyond what the feature tracks show, but know that it was a fast-tracked script with no time to waste on pleasantries.<\/p>\n<p>It pairs well with popcorn, kids and mayhem. Lots of it!<\/p>\n<p>IMDb gave this movie a 5.6\/10.<\/p>\n<p>Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 42\/100.<\/p>\n<p>I gave it a score of 4, too. I didn&#8217;t enjoy the raunchy freshman antics and believe they could have left out the crass the kept the class. It&#8217;s quite possible you might enjoy what I did not.
