Movie #2089 ........................."Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey" (Amazon Prime)

 Movie #2089 "Jingle Jangle:  A Christmas Journey" (Amazon  Prime)  What  fun!  I LOVED this gem  of a film  -- I liked the cast (esp.  the  young granddaughter -- what a  find!)  the sets and props, the music (John Legend) and what stellar choreography! It is  so  "in your face" ---  the characters  are  fast and furious but many are a bit  shallow ---  like  assistant  Gustofson and the robot, and the wife.  But the above strengths of the movie make  it a  wonderful watch in the holiday season. I   Highly  recommend-- 4.5.  And what a strong job Keegan-Michael Key and Annika Noni Rose  do, as well.  The granddaughter stole the show, to  me as Journey --- her  name is Magdalene Mills.  Wow!  What  a talent!
