Featured review
This family holiday film is entertaining and worth a watch, albeit with a few shortcomings
I recently watched Dashing through the Snow (2023), newly released on Disney+. The storyline revolves around a man undergoing a divorce with a tragic past that fuels his disdain for Christmas. As it's his turn to have his daughter for the holidays, their lives take an unexpected turn when Santa Claus, having lost his iPad, lands on their doorstep, prompting the father and daughter to help Santa and save Christmas.
Directed by Tim Story (Barbershop), the film stars Ludacris (Crash), Lil Rel Howery (Get Out), Madison Skye Validum (Best. Christmas. Ever.), Teyonah Parris (Dear White People), and Sebastian Sozzi (Choke).
Dashing through the Snow offers an uneven addition to the Christmas holiday genre, with both enjoyable and less compelling elements. Lil Rel Howery stands out as Santa, delivering impeccable lines and mannerisms. The film also effectively addresses themes of tragedy and coping mechanisms. However, the villain falls short and feels somewhat hollow. On a positive note, the inclusion of Santa hunters and martial arts reindeer adds a unique touch.
In conclusion, this family holiday film is entertaining and worth a watch, albeit with a few shortcomings. I would give it a score of 5/10.
