2021 - PG - 97 MINS - COMEDY

Top cast: Winslow Fegley, Neil Patrick Harris

In a nutshell

In 1980s Chicago, a ten-year-old sets out on a herculean quest to secure the Christmas gift of his generation - the Nintendo video game system.

Our review

Packed full of comedy and nostalgia, this cast really sets the tone for Christmas in the 80s and evoked many happy memories of my childhood.  It will likely become a Christmas classic for the Gen-X crowd but may not make the heights for those born other generations.
