Christmas at the Kringles review

Spoiler-free review

An aggressively un-festive misfire, Christmas at the Kringles gave me so little to hang onto that elaborating feels like rewarding it. The thing’s sloppy enough that the only useful service here is a warning flare: save your time, save your cheer. Whatever charm, craft, or cozy competence you expect from a holiday movie never materializes, and I’m not spending more words trying to justify or excavate it. Consider this a mercifully brief dispatch from the front lines: I watched it so you don’t have to.

This is bad. I won't review it further. I don't get paid by the word. Maybe just be grateful that I took this bullet for you. 

That's it. It's over. Go away.
