“#Kurt Russell’s Santa sequel is a jumble<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Back in 1990, Chris Columbus directed what is arguably America\u2019s favorite non-animated Christmas movie: \u201cHome Alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2020, he returns to helm America\u2019s 479th favorite Christmas movie: \u201cChristmas Chronicles 2,\u201d which is sadly more in line with his less celebrated films, such as \u201cPercy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief\u201d and \u201cI Love You, Beth Cooper.\u201d It is mercifully not as bad as \u201cPixels.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s weird is that Columbus did not direct the 2018 movie that kicked off this franchise, starring Kurt Russell as a slick and more physically fit Santa Claus. He jumped onboard for a crackpot sequel. While the original (helmed by by Clay Kaytis) was standard-issue \u2014 Santa loses all the presents, kids help him save Christmas, etc. \u2014 it was a lot better for its simplicity.<\/p>\n

In the unnecessarily long new film, an elf-turned-human with a New Zealand accent sends the Pierce children (Darby Camp, Judah Lewis and Jahzir Bruno) back to the North Pole through a wormhole in Cancun. And that\u2019s the normal part!<\/p>\n

That elf, named Belsnickel (the character\u2019s origins in German folklore do not make the name any less annoying), had been set to take the reins at the North Pole, but got banished and forced into a human body.<\/p>\n

Now, Belsnickel (Julian Dennison) enacts his revenge on the boss and Mrs. Claus (Goldie Hawn, reading lines) by stealing the star from the top of the North Pole tree and using a time machine to send Santa back to 1990 Boston. Like ya do.<\/p>\n

The action-adventure aspects of \u201cChristmas Chronicles,\u201d with sleigh chases and a reindeer fights, are cluttered. More app<\/a>ealing are the real-world storylines, such as the siblings dealing with their mom getting serious with a new beau.<\/p>\n

And when the sleigh lands in Boston, Santa and young Kate Pierce discover a Logan Airport filled with miserable travel<\/a>ers. Russell then goes full \u201cBeetlejuice\u201d and magics the angry crowd into performing a song called \u201cThe Spirit of Christmas.\u201d A revelation in this sequence is moving, albeit shamelessly sentimental.<\/p>\n

The rest is husband-and-wife duo Russell and Hawn standing in front of a green screen.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
