Chris Columbus has forgotten more about how to make satisfying family movies than most people will ever know, and nothing will ever change the fact that “Home Alone,” “Mrs. Doubtfire,” and “Adventures in Babysitting” did more to shape millennial identity (or at least the BuzzFeed quizzes about it) than historians will ever formally recognize. With the chintzy but foundational first two films in the “Harry Potter” franchise, it could be argued that Columbus exerted a seismic impact on the next generation as well. We’re talking about a guy whose cultural relevance somehow managed to outlast that of the other iconic figure who shares his name, despite the fact that only one of them was responsible for “Bicentennial Man.”
And so…

Set two years after the first, The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two is directed by Chris Columbus and stars Kurt Russell, Goldie Hawn, Judah Lewis, Darby Camp, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Julian Dennison and Tyrese Gibson. The story follows Kate Pierce (Camp) who is unexpectedly reunited with Santa Claus when a mysterious troublemaker threatens to cancel Christmas forever.
2018's The Christmas Chronicles was a great success. A nice, fun Christmas movie with the one and only Kurt Russell as Santa. Yet, It must be said, The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two isn't as fun, clever or endlessly enjoyable as it's predecessor, but for a family Christmas film that's main objective is for you to have fun, well then, it more than…
Much like the first one, Kurt Russel is the best part of this movie. But unlike the first one, there is literally no other redeeming factor. The acting is terrible, the story is terrible, and those stupid ass elves having a huge part in this movie was horrendous.
They also tried to play ‘Who Let the Dogs Out’ for comedic value. Not only is that song incredibly overused in movies, but there was not a single dog anywhere. Just a bunch of stupid ass elves.
And who’s idea was it to cast the kid from Hunt for the Wilderpeople as the villain. No offense to him but he is the least intimidating person I’ve ever seen.
Netflix, for the love of god, don’t make a third one.

There is something about both of these films that hit well with me. We pick back up a few years later with our crazy cast of characters, but the tone and consistency of the characters (thankfully) is still present, even with a new Director. Kate Pierce, now a cynical teen, is unexpectedly reunited with Santa Claus when a mysterious troublemaker threatens to cancel Christmas - forever. I guess this is just a Chris Columbus month for me, as he is back taking on this Christmas-centric sequel. He does a decent job of tackling these ridiculous situations. Kurt Russell’s Santa has to face Julian Dennison’s Belsnickel, and Dennison is fun in the…
What this brainless nonsense needed was not worldbuilding, but here we are.
Fun fact: The part where they go back to an airport in 1990 is a pointless detour from the plot
For all the Da 5 Bloods's, Irishman's, Mank's, Roma's and Marriage Story's, Netflix still doesn't give two shits about giving us an unfunny, witless, charmless and unenjoyable sequel to what was an extraordinarily "okay" first Christmas film.
And am I surprised it's directed by none other than the "The Most Boring Family Movie Man" himself, Chris Columbus? No... Not at all. 🤦🏼♂️

The Christmas Chronicles 2 is a predictable and generic sequel but at least it’s enjoyable. My family are fans of the first film so we were pretty excited about watching this. While the first film is definitely better this film was still very enjoyable and just as entertaining as the first. The plot is okay it’s a habitual and cheesy story. A lot of the charm of the first film is lost and is replaced with more of a campy tone that makes the story feel kinda of worn out at times. There is also a handful of plot points that feel unnecessary and feel like they were just added…

Kurt Russell is back as Old Saint Nick to save Christmas once again in an even bigger Christmas Chronicles adventure.
"Without the star, the North Pole, the village, Christmas itself is doomed."
Could the sequel to a Netflix original Christmas movie be good? Well, in the capable hands of Director Chris Columbus, that answer is actually yes. It has its faults with some cheesy acting and over-reliance on CGI, but overall I would say I enjoyed it just as much if not more than the original.
"I have a feeling this has something to do with Kate being a True Believer."

How does Ballswallow keep getting away with this?? Doesn’t Santa know and see everything? Mrs. Clause gets a pass cause she’s clearly off her rocker and doesn’t know what’s going on.

The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two is definitely a departure of quality from the first. The first isn’t a great film but it’s very enjoyable. This film lacked the humor and craziness of that film. It’s definitely a lot more generic. The first film is so insane. They throw so much insanity at the audience and that’s what makes it as good as it is. This just is a generic Christmas movie. If feels like it was trying to hard to be a more so fantasy epic type film instead of a fun Christmas movie. It just lacked a lot. One thing it isn’t lacking is Kurt Russell as Santa Clause. He’s easily the best part. He does everything he…
Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, please adopt me. I have a santa suit. We can sit around in our Xmas outfits, watch the Thing n' shit.
Tight.
The mountain that would be created by charting the quality of Chris Columbus' output over time. Wild ride.
Enttäuschende Fortsetzung eines unterhaltsamen ersten Teils. Langweilig und kitschig.
this movie is literally a mad libs version of a Christmas family movie and im not about it
A sequel that does not betray the spirit of the first chapter and indeed improves it. A Christmas adventure different than usual.
An utter abomination, failing completely to hold true to the original. One of the worst movies of all time.
This film benefits from a tighter focus on the world of Santa Claus himself, however when it does try and mimick the first film (the musical number) it does not work and feels weaker. Also Kate is an awful lead, the very worst of child acting.
