Watching it for the first time right now. 45 minutes in and I haven't spotted a likable character yet. Or more specifically, one who isn't somewhere between bland and annoying. I wasn't expecting much, still underwhelmed.
share* Charlie
* Benard
* Scott
Bernard?
Judy?
Comet the reindeer?
🎄 Be careful not to choke on your aspirations, Director. 🎄
Bernard was a lot nicer in the 2nd movie.
Judy was sweet.
Scott eventually became nicer when he became Santa.
Charlie was whinny but he's a sweet kid! much better than the boy in "Jingle All the Way"
Who doesn't love Comet? ;)
shareI liked Charlie, Judy, and later on I grew to like Scott, because he became a better man after becoming Santa. Bernard wasn't so bad once things got back to normal for the North Pole. You see from the way he treated Charlie that he wasn't a total jerk.
The people I dislike most in this movie are Scott's ex-wife and Neal. The two of them are both pathetic, annoying, and probably the most miserable people I have ever seen. Neal's the kind of psychiatrist that you laugh at, because he doesn't know anything about the real world, and Scott's ex-wife seems to have both neurological problems, as well as terrible taste in fashion. (Actually, both she and Neal have that).
Charlie wasn't a bad kid. He's a little whiny (that's the actors natural voice he can't help it). But he's a sweet kid I liked him.
Judy is sweet too.
Bernard is grumpy at first but has good qualities. He clearly has a soft spot for Charlie (never yelling at him once). Being the head elf can be stressful I imagine. Just like being a manager or school principal.
