Dashing Through the Snow is yet another Christmas movie with a generic, meaningless, grab-bag of a title. It’s not the most original plot either but there had to be something better they could have come up with… but, then again, they only thought up a premise and barely put together a comedy so what else would I expect?

The flick stars Ludacris as a guy who hates Christmas trying to get his daughter home for the holidays when he runs into Santa as played by Lil Rel Howery. Wackiness ensues.

This is just a long, tedious, tiresome sit full of decent ideas poorly executed and glaringly unfunny jokes. Howery should have made a good, funny Santa and Ludacris… hmmm… can be in movies too, I suppose. But maybe show some energy, my man. Look like you care.

But why should either of them care with this mediocre, generic script that relies on unearned schmaltz. And I didn’t care… about any of it… all the fake and phone Christmas cheer made my grinch heart grow three sizes smaller.

Disney+ needs to do better… Christmas movies need to do better. That is all.
