geared to kids, but not my kids
Patrick Swayze plays a man who has just moved his family from California to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada within the past 48 hours. Just after arriving he learns the company he came to work for was bought out and he was laid off. It is currently Christmas Eve, his wife, who for some reason could not come with the family on the initial move, but was to join them that day, calls to say the flight was overbooked. She got bumped and doesn't know when she will get home. She reminds him to get a tree and presents. So he bribes his two sons, who have really bad attitudes about the move, to come with him to the mall and watch their little sister while he does the shopping.
*Spoiler Alert*
Here is where things get really crazy. They are at "The Mall"--the big one, with a wave pool, a pirate ship, ice skating, a myriad other attractions, and, of course, Santa. The little girl insists on seeing him. She wishes for a million dollars for her Dad. Then, while her oldest brother...
Havin' a ball at the mall!
If you're looking for a little silly Christmas fun and would like to refresh your belief in dreams coming true, this is an excellent movie for you. And, the good news is, it's totally appropriate for kids of any age.
When a family is not doing so well at Christmas, and one of the kids asks a mall Sants for a million dollars, and that wish just happens to come true... Well, what could possibly go wrong?
Christmas in Wonderland definitely has the fun factor! No great surprises, but a cute film. The addition of Patrick Swayze, Tim Curry and Chris Kattan to the cast is a big plus.
Great kids movie
I bought this DVD without knowing anything about it for my 9 year old granddaughter who lives in another state.
She watched it at least 20 times whilst she was with me and never tired of it. I have had kids watch movies over and over again but this was exceptional. She took it home and they all got to watch it again and again.
It is a great kids movie for the whole family AND it has the late Patrick Swayze in it. How good is that!
