Taking a bit of a break from Hallmark and Great American Family and Lifetime, I’m going to check out one of Disney’s new movies this year - Dashing Through The Snow. We will have more titles from Disney coming up but let’s see how they are starting off this season.
Eddie Garrick (Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges) doesn’t particularly like Christmas, thanks to some childhood trauma. However, he does want to make the holiday special for his daughter, Charlotte (Madison Skye Validum). When the two happen to meet someone calling themselves Nick Claus (Lil Rel Howery), the trio spends the evening running around town trying to avoid a corrupt politician and his lackeys.
I had to admit that it was the participation of Ludacris that made me want to watch this movie. And I am so glad that I did! Dashing Through The Snow has a great balance between the realism of life and plain old Santa Magic. There are some updates to the Santa we know and love. But not in a bad way. I found myself smiling a lot while watching this. It’s fun and well acted and I loved it. I might add this one to the Annual Movie list.
Rating: It’s on the Nice List, of course!
