The first holiday season 3-d’er that’s a bit on the dark side

Jack Frost (Chris Pine) teams with a tattooed-Russian accented Santa (Alec Baldwin), the Tooth Fairy (Isla Fisher), the Easter Bunny (a very funny Hugh Jackman) and a silent Sandman  to defeat the  nightmare king, Boogeyman (delish delivered by a Voldermort-looking Jude Law).

The funniest thing in this  film are the elves and they’re severely under-used.  The little ones could  get nightmares from the Boogeyman, who is out to stop children from believing  in  the mythical  characters, who are the guardians of children everywhere. 

His film needs more light (laughs) and less  dark.  The holidays are supposed to be fun.
