The "holiday" season.

The North Pole and Chicago.

Why did I decide to watch this?
Because I like the original movie.

How did I like this?
Am I allowed to say I liked this better than the movies? Well, it's not hard to be better than the third movie, but I genuinely enjoyed this more than all of them. It's so fun! As someone who no longer celebrates Christmas, I loved them poking fun at what the holiday has become, without being cynical.

Revenge with a side of burger sauce. And the friends we made along the way.

Anytime you need something goofy.

Los Angeles.

Why did I decide to watch this?
Because the first movie is a classic.

How did I like this?
 It certainly has the spirit of the original! Gang's all here! And the plot feels very reminiscent of the first, not a direct copy, but it feels real for these characters.

I do have to say, I feel like they were trying too hard with some of the jokes, but that seems to be common across most adult reboots of kids' stuff.
