This is a big-hearted movie about kindness, which, as Nikolas reminds his dad, costs nothing but is worth so much.
It's light, playful, and knowingly anachronistic without being obnoxious.
Kenan has done a better job here of mining the comforts of childhood nostalgia than he did on the recent Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which he co-wrote.
A Boy Called Christmas is by-the-numbers Yuletide storytelling buoyed by a strong Brit cast, inventive filmmaking and a heart in the right place.
It is warm, entertaining and unpretentious. Only a true Scrooge could resist.
Flimsily conceived, without ideas to cause an audience to lean in in wonder, and too many characters less liable to charm than grate.
