This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw the commercials for this and thought it would be an alright comedy but nothing all that special. I was HOPING for something that I could laugh at until it hurt but unfortunately, I was sadly disappointed. While there were many jokes that did land perfectly and really got me going most of them felt very mild or just didn't stick the landing with me properly. I was surprised at some of the biting criticism of the corporate world like Santa continuously giving himself a pat on the back for nominating the first black Santa and then toying, and then finally going through with, nominating the first female Santa. I found this thoroughly enjoyable considering it did bring forth what I think goes through the minds of a lot of company higher-ups when including diversity. It's less about inclusion and more about how "great" they will look. However, most of the other criticism isn't anything new or done any differently from what I saw. The main elf Candy's pursuit of the new job as Santa feels a lot like Santa's motivation as well. Wanting the job primarily because she would make history as the first female Santa and that being the only driving factor for her for the job. The biggest missed opportunity was in the character Devin, I feel like it would have been better had Devin been a female side character that truly embraced the spirit of the holiday and had been rooting and helping Candy only for her to pass on the opportunity and give it to the female Devin instead. Understanding that while being the first female Santa would have put her in the history books that she was going for it for all of the wrong reasons.… Expand
