How about RedOne? Sort of Die Hard mixed with The Santa Clause.

Thanks for the recommendation. Watched it last night and enjoyed it : )

It’s a different world these days for movies. Good flicks like this suddenly appear on a streaming platform without ever showing at a movie theater. The content producers and delivery platforms are becoming one in the same.

RedOne was very good, some good comedy, a touch of Star Wars, a touch of the wizard of oz, and a good message. . .

I had heard that this was good, but I ended up so disappointed.

Compared to Die Hard, Carry On was very boring and slow. We almost turned it off, but wanted to see how it ended. The plot was basic, zero action until the end of the movie, and all of the things that had to happen to fulfill the plot were so ridiculous that they could never come close to happening in real life. I understand it's a movie and entertainment, but come on, have some basis in reality.

We'll watch Die Hard again (we do every Christmas), but will never even think of watching this again.
