I hit play on this Netflix animated Christmas movie with a bit of a ‘tude. And maybe that was the best way to approach it since the flick slowly melted my frozen heart. No reason to sneer at this genuinely … Continue reading
Debated on whether to give this dopey, trudging Christmas rom-com an extra half star just to not be “that guy” on LB trashing a dopey rom-com for being a dopey rom-com. But when it’s this dopey a rom-com, why bother … Continue reading
