Rating 
9 1/2out

Rated
for some crude humor.
Notes:
Jim Carrey gives a remarkable performance. The facial expressions are marvelous! Sure to be a Christmas classic enjoyed by many for years to come. The sets are amazing. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because I felt that there were some boring scenes, for instance the musical scenes. It just didn't fit!
Bottom Line: Take my word for it and BUY it before you rent it!
