Candy Cane Lane Synopsis
Eddie Murphy stars in this holiday comedy adventure about a man on a mission to win his neighborhood's annual Christmas home decoration contest. After Chris (Eddie Murphy) inadvertently makes a deal with a mischievous elf named Pepper (Jillian Bell) to better his chances of winning, she casts a magic spell that brings the 12 Days of Christmas to life and wreaks havoc on the whole town. At the risk of ruining the holidays for his family, Chris, his wife Carol (Tracee Ellis Ross), and their three children must race against the clock to break Pepper's spell, battle deviously magical characters, and save Christmas for everyone.
This looks like a fun watch and one of the more anticipated holiday films from the various streamers this year. I still think they should have considered a small theatrical release for this one, especially since the theatrical release schedule is so weak this year through Christmas, but oh well. The last time Murphy and Hudlin teamed up with Brian Grazer (this film's producer), we got Boomerang, which is one of the underappreciated films of the 90s, so expectations on this one are high.
Candy Cane Lane debuts on Prime Video on December 1st.
