3/4
The wonderful Rashida Jones voices a teacher who could become a love interest for Jesper. And any movie that casts Norm Macdonald as a cynical boat captain who sounds exactly like Norm MacDdnald is all right by me. Go to Full Review

It's awkward and weird, and yet all that awkwardness and weirdness give it personality and charm and a freewheeling, nonsensical quality that feels refreshing. Go to Full Review

Though there are some narrative blips in Klaus born out of a premise that is maybe just a little too complex for a 97-minute film, the movie is absolutely beautiful. Go to Full Review

Greatly enjoyed watching this with my kids. It was a bit darker than I was expecting but nonetheless it's a feel good film that's surprisingly funny. Go to Full Review

Noah R Dec 23 I hope that Netflix puts this in theaters again next year. It’s too good to only watch on the small screen. See more Kris S 12/19/2024 Phenomenal movie - This should be considered one of the true Christmas classics. I am extremely appreciative that Netflix granted the theater permission to play it. I also pray that this movie is made available on disc someday - it truly deserves to be seen everywhere Christmas is celebrated. See more Ben N @Bneffer Jan 19 Starts out VERY strong. In the end it falls back on some tired troupe standards that it had avoided during the whole film. Much of the conflict is a bit silly, and and full of hyperbole. It does manage to surprise at times. Overall, very well done and stands out in a frankly overdone genre. See more wanadam h @wanadam Jan 5 most goated movie ever made. See more cinemalurker @cinemalurker25 Dec 31 The most beautifully made Christmas movie I’ve ever experienced. The writing is a fun callback to the era of Emperor’s New Groove, and the visuals left me breathless every moment. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Dec 29 Funny in 1 hour and 38 minutes!!! Rated PG for Rude Humor and Mild Action!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Educational and state-of-the-art!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
