Title: A Christmas turkey, if you will excuse the pun.
Product review: If you are a conneuisseur of bad movies, then this one's for you. Dudley Moore, a fine Brit actor, is totally wasted(must have been the money) as an elf who leaves Santa's workshop and gets sucked in by an evil, corrupt toymaker BZ(played by John Lithgow of THIRD ROCK FROM THE SUN fame!) who wants to commercialise Christmas for his own ends. Well, this bit sounds familiar, note the media tycoons who hype parents into beating each other up over the hottest toys(Ho-ho-ho)(Oh dear, groan, bad joke). One could say that was one of the movie's merits, being ahead of its time! I give it two stars also because it is a very colourful film for young children who don't have half a brain to realise that Tim Allen's recent THE SANTA CLAUSE is far more enjoyable and answers more questions about kid's interests in Santa Claus at that time of the year . . . Never mind. And I thought MYSTERY MEN sucked . . .
