MIX UP REVIEWS:


Sophie (Age 10): ★★★★★

"Excellent movie which helps promote the message of what Christmas is really about. A great family comedy and Eddie Murphy is really great in it. My favourite part was when Santa comes! Really clever idea with all the Christmas decorations and magic. I loved it! "
