Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer (2000)


Cousin Mel's evil, but a total babe and a sharp dresser!

First of all, I hate the novelty song on which this is based, so I went into this a little biased. Inconsistently animated, this is filled with additional novelty songs like "I'm Going to Sue the Pants Off Santa" and stretches a flimsy plot to 80 plus minutes. The voices of the characters are annoying, with a few exceptions, such as Michele Lee as Cousin Mel. Santa turns out not to be so jolly and the boilerplate villain turns out not to be completely awful and you end up being okay with the fact that a senior citizen is killed by Santa. Far from the worst Christmas movie (ahem. "Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny"), this just manages to be dull, annoying and not particularly well-suited to young children.
