If you loved The Great White Hype, try Candy Cane Lane

What Candy Cane Lane is
Looks like someone's been watching Elf again. Chris accidentally makes a deal with a rogue elf, which unleashes magical mayhem on his family and neighborhood. It's almost as if the film wants you to reflect on how much you enjoy Eddie Murphy's seasonal output.
