Pluskylang Great Film overall

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

RipOff Monroe Alright "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" is a classic novelty Christmas song that gets played every year on the the radio. I'm sure you've heard it by now, well that plot is the basis of this movie. So, stop me if you've heard this plot before. Corporate guy wants family owned store, grandmother won't sell, evil, greedy cousin wants to sell, but grandmother gets final say. Well one night on the way home the grandmother gets.... you guessed it ran over by one of Santa's reindeer. So for the whole movie the main kid...Jake Spanekhimer? Really? Has to find his missing grandmother to stop the evil cousin Mel from selling the store. But when he does find her at the north-pole shes lost her memory, then everyone is blames Santa an he get put on trial, no seriously they literally put him on trial and ready to convict him to prison before Jake solves the mystery...wow, basically the grandmother gets her memory back, finds out Mel put addictive deer food in the bag she was holding when she was hit by the reindeer, and then they just arrest her right there in the courtroom, she even steals the old "I would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for (blank)." The animation in this is bad the voice acting is cheap and the songs in this are horrible. But what disappoints me is the fact that it was directed by Phil Roman, the same man who directed several Peanuts TV specials and the producer of King of the Hill and The Critic. So, if your looking for a video to watch during the holidays I recommend something else. I give a 3/10 because believe it or not I've seen worse movies.

dj3980 This movie is really bad, but really funny because of it. Yes the plot is rather stupid but most Christmas films are not exactly plausible or in this case, "clausible". HA HA. The songs are also lame, but still funny. They also seem to have added extra ones that branch of ideas from the original. The jokes are not that hard to get, there isn't really any violence or foul language...just fine for the kids. The animations are fine, doesn't have to be CGI to be considered good. Don't know why this movie is being trashed so badly, it's not by far the worst holiday one out there. We look forward to seeing this every year and hope they keep airing it. If you haven't watched it out yet, definitely look for a copy on Amazon or YouTube.

TheLittleSongbird Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas specials but I really disliked this one. This did have the ingredients for it to be at least charming, but so much let it down that my head was throbbing from hitting the wall countless times. The animation is very shoddy especially in the character designs, while the music is mostly awful. The incidental music is okay, but the songs were what irked me. Not only are the melodies forgettable and the lyrics trite, some of them don't fit with the story at all. The story is a great idea but badly told, and not helped by the poor pacing and terrible dialogue. Very few of the characters are likable either, and the voice acting ranges to decent to sub-par. So all in all, this was really quite bad, at least for me. 1/10 Bethany Cox

mhspcnauunc This is supposedly a story in which a GROWN MAN tells a story about his youth. Yet, you see things like personal computers, e-mails, faxes, etc, which are items used in the late 20th Century and early 21st. So when is this guy supposed to be telling this story - in 2020. Gee, I wonder how advanced we are then. How about telling us that.Also, there are several legal issues which also make no sense. In the courtroom scene, the story falls into the usual pratfalls of surprise evidence, which is inadmissible in any real court of law in this country. Also, Grandma would have to be missing at least seven years in most states before to be declared officially dead.Congratulations Elmo Shropshire. You are now officially a SELLOUT.
