The online reviews for this movie sans the MST3K treatment have been almost all positive, but I found this to be extremely creepy and hard to watch. I suspect that these 'reviews' were based on skewed and rose- tinted memories rather than cinematic analysis!
Christmas looks like being canceled because the main man can't pay the rent for his little house and workshop in the north pole. So he pops into the big city and seeks the assistance of a rather creepy lawyer and the two engage the evil landlord and try to set him straight about Christmas and children and well, just being a better human being.
Maybe I just didn't 'get it' and missed something because unfortunately, the fine fellows crewing the Satellite Of Love didn't make this 'claus-trophobic' entry much more digestible. (See what I did there?) This is the 'miss' of the rebooted series. Lots of wordy riffs but not very many hit the mark.
The whole uncomfortable viewing of the movie itself just conspired to tune me out of the Mistie humor this time around. I don't know - but for whatever reason, I won't be firing up this one again.
Lots of great episodes in the new series - this isn't one of them.
