“In 2017u0026#39;s u0026#39;Tiny Christmasu0026#39;, two young kids are accidentally shrunk by Santau0026#39;s elfu0026#39;s shrinking ray (thatu0026#39;s how they manage to load up so many presents in the sleigh to deliver on Christmas eve, of course!) and have to navigate through runaway toys, a dangerous cat, loopy neighbours and other hazards, before they can find their way back home and hopefully be returned to proper size!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eObviously u0026#39;Tiny Christmasu0026#39; is aimed at younger audiences, but it has plenty to offer other viewers if youu0026#39;re in a forgiving mood – and preferably of an easily amused and/or slightly warped mindset! In fact, thereu0026#39;s a good chance you wonu0026#39;t be able to take your eyes off the absolutely bewildering and exaggerated overacting from every single one of the cast – almost no-one acts or talks in the least bit realistically, but itu0026#39;s clear every one of the performers were in on the joke and were having a great time making this, and their liveliness really carries the film! The dialogue is completely nonsensical and proves to be unexpectedly funny (although youu0026#39;ll either be rolling your eyes or grinning from ear to ear!), the cheerfully cheap nu0026#39; cheesy special-effects completely compliment the loopy tone of the film, and one or two quieter reflective moments have a sweet heart to them in the way all Christmas/family films should.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo if you click with the deranged silliness of the movie, thereu0026#39;s an energetic and peppy little film (urgh, pun not intended, but it works, so itu0026#39;s staying!) in u0026#39;Tiny Christmasu0026#39;, and thereu0026#39;s a good chance you and your kids will have a great time with it!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e7/10.”
