Ratings and reviews

Classic movie. A bit of a slow start by modern standards, but Hollywood could definitely learn from the character development and quality of story telling. Still great after all these years.

Always reminds me of Christmas and all the great family/action/comedy films played on the TV at that time. Purchased this a few days ago as it was a pleasant surprise to see it had been reduced in price. Well done Google Play!

I know a lot of people who like this film but I can't work out why? Corny as hell, and the ending is so bad, it beggars belief.
