With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for sports fans (and people who swear they aren't) and people who start the Christmas movies early. The sport matters, but the people playing it matter more. Fans of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer should feel right at home. Made to be watched with the tree lit.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 30 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Robbie the Reindeer arrives at the North Pole, ready to take his place as navigator on Santa's Christmas sleigh team. However, Robbie is soon plagued by doubt regarding his ability, and sets out to regain his self-respect and the admiration of his team-mates.
