I think it's fair to say that some of Eddie Murphy's more recent films haven't been great. Candy Cane Lane (the new Christmas film on Amazon Prime video), however, was brilliant.
We watched it last night and laughed from beginning to end. The way it references and sends up so many other Christmas films and tropes (and others) is great — you find yourself waiting for the next one and will probably miss a lot on a first watch.
Highly recommended.
