The decorations are up in the shops, Starbucks has their Eggnog latte and Michael Buble’s ‘Santa Baby’ is playing in Brown Thomas…yes, Christmas is pretty much here. So that means its Christmas movie time and ‘Arthur Christmas’ is the perfect seasonal movie that will really get you into the Christmas spirit.
In ‘Arthur Christmas’ the reigning Santa Claus is coming to the end of his term in the red suit and his efficient, reliable and joyless son Steven is set to take his place. However Steven’s position as the next Santa is put into question when a child is left without a present. The only member of the Claus family who wants to put things right is the jolly, accident-prone Arthur.
What really makes this a great Christmas movie though is that it is essentially the story of a family. There is sibling rivalry, the grumpy grandparent, arguments over the dinner table, and the super-mom who silently holds everything together – sound familiar?
This is a movie that is packed full of cheer and you will leave the cinema with a skip in your step and a smile on your face.
'Arthur Christmas' is in cinemas Friday November 11th.
