By all accounts this is Thornton playing himself.
Another Christmas redemption story disguised as a heist job within a department store, Santa in this instance is a drunk womaniser which leads to all kinds of hilarity, it takes one kids undying love for Santa for him to have an epiphany, and here the story although formulaic has a suitable but somewhat sweet ending.

Bill Murray is always watchable and he seems to have been given free reign here as scrooge in this modern comedic Richard Donner retelling, not only is it laugh out loud, and considerably violent in parts, it never loses its heart and message of redemption, not for everyone I would guess, however, one I very much enjoy as a guilty pleasure.

This is a story how a Warrior that has been cursed for 2000 years to have his emotions chained by a God find redemption and strength to feel again through the heart meld of a unlikely source Tiernan a feisty truth seeker reporter. As their story unfold you see that truth and lobe comes out in the most unlikely way. Beautifully titled fits the story well.

The Disney villain origin story I never knew I needed! Honestly, who isn't a sucker for a good origin story, and Disney managed to pull this off. The movie is about Maleficent's redemption along with the maternal love between her and Aurora. I also appreciated that they didn't focus much of the movie on Aurora's love with Philip. It has definitely been added to my favorites.
