Featured reviews
There is a little something for everyone and it is certainly a tale about heavy-handed morals centred around the season of giving. Yes, you could watch Die Hard at Christmas if you are a twenty-something hipster with no children like me, but if you have a family and 'traditional values', then this is a pretty fun watch for kids and grown ups alike. The only thing that might put some people off is the small amount of male-female violence that is present, as well as the assertion that men and women should be treated equally both physically and mentally. Personally I think that makes this film stand out, but it might offend some others (although a lot of the positive steps the film takes in this area is undercut by the lead female character being so taken aback by the main's insistence that she is pretty, because you know, that is all women want out of life.)
Overall this is just a fun Christmas movie that can be enjoyed by families and wrestling fans, and if you are both then you will probably love it. If you are neither then it has some kitsch value but nothing too great, just watch and enjoy as some holiday filler.
I've got a million better things to do with my time right now, but I signed in to refute the "featured" review here for people who might be about to watch the flick. I don't know why IMDB featured that particular review and I don't know why the person who wrote it thought so little of it (btw, I've got zero ties to anything or anyone in the movie... I'm just a girl and 'tis the season). As far as "Christmas movies" go, it was much better than expected.
