Candy Cane Lane

"A frenzied family friendly film as overstuffed as a Christmas stocking."

"Murphy and Ross deserve better, and so do we, and so does Christmas."

"It’s very broad and in trying to do too much achieves little."

"Sift through the nonsense and there’s a surprising amount to enjoy."

"The film’s real star is Tracee Ellis Ross."

"Tone-deaf."

"Pleasant but uninspired."

"(It) won’t join the ranks of Christmas classics, but it’s not quite a lump of coal either."

"The main thing to say about Candy Cane Lane is that Eddie Murphy is funny in it."

"A cozy and rather loopy Christmas movie."

"The sort of movie that ceases to exist even before it is over."

"All over the place."

"I wanted to like Candy Cane Lane, but its latter half unfortunately sent it off the rails."

"The sole bright spot in the film comes from the characters of Pip, Cordelia, and Gary."

"A passable addition to the annual parade of holiday movies."
