Dove Review

This animated, musical comedy is being marketed to kids as a holiday cartoon, but it is crude, obnoxious, and a far cry from Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. Adam Sandler does an excellent job performing the character voices of Davey, Whitey and Eleanor, especially in the song titled “Technical Foul,” which gets a lot of laughs. But Sandler’s movie falls short in its intent as a redemptive story. The humor, primarily based on sexual references and bodily functions, includes stunts like a fat man whose jockstrap must be eaten after a bet and an elderly man covered with human waste. While this animated musical is funny, it’s humor is too vulgar for kids and too immature for adults.
