I must have watched a different movie to the one everyone else has reviewed. I got to the end only because I couldn't be bothered finding something else to watch.
The story itself is interesting enough, with the right amount of conflict/emotion/heartwarming moments.
The acting, overall, was solid. There were some genuinely funny/moving moments, with the humour generally coming from Kurt Russell, who carried the whole movie.
The problem was the frequent cringey moments and unnecessary filler scenes. Silly musical number, too much time spent on the elves... it just took too long. It was frustrating to sit through some scenes just thinking, "Apparently time is of the essence, but we have time for this? This isn't even funny. Why am I watching this? When will it end? Why hasn't it ended yet? This doesn't even make sense."
If they cut out the filler scenes, it would have actually been a much more enjoyable movie.
