In which the Mister and the Monsters join me in reviewing Netflix's THE CHRISTMAS CHRONICLES 2 - a continuation of their 2018 film. Starring Darby Camp as Kate Pierce, Kurt Russell as Santa Clause, Goldie Hawn as Mrs. Claus, Jahzir Bruno as Jack and Julian Dennison as the antagonist, Belsnickel; the film follows Kate to Cancun as she's on Christmas vacation with her mom and brother and her mother's new boyfriend, Bob, and his son, Jack. Both adults seem to have lost a spouse and may have come together through that and have now forged a relationship and are taking the opportunity to blend their families together. Kate, a newly minted surly teen, is not pleased with this new development and pines for the past. She makes a wish on the beach and thinks she's concocted a foolproof plan but of course, things manage to go awry. The film is currently streaming on Netflix, is rated PG and has a run time of 1 hour and 52 minutes. As always, please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
