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

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Reginald Hudlin, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Great White Hype, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

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.
