Forgettable Christmas movie featuring Sam Elliott.

Prancer deserves to join the select ranks of those Christmas movies we return to again and again.

It’s a decent holiday season film, suited to the six-to eight-year-old set.

For the most part this is an utterly enchanting film that deserves a place in the canon of holiday features that make their way to theaters, video and TV each year at this time.
