A Very Nutty Christmas (2018 TV Movie)
2/10
The writers mut have been strung out on something . Cheap and weird film
22 December 2019
Teenage Witch tries to do a professional job, She's obviously accomplished. Trouble is, most of the cast are funadamentally incompetent. The story here: Sabrina gets involved with a Christmas Toy Viennese Soldier. Nearly all of the action takes part in what looks like an actual Christmas "Village" - that is in a car park There's some great stuff at a "Christmas Ball" listen to the sound track. They've recorded general mumbling from an airport lounge and added some lift music, it's weird. Set dressing took a day off - it's just some empty brown tables. Very strange. As the film continues "soldier boy" gets weirder, as he struggles with Christmas celebrations and decorations and "real life". By the time Soldier and Sabrina hit the Christmas market this has all turned into a bad Acid trip.

Sabrina comes to a realisation that the Soldier she's been hanging out with, is not out of rehab...but is a magical broken wooden soldier that she rescued. This happens while attending a show called The Nutcracker Suite .. where the audience number maybe 23 people. This film swings between a christmas romance and LSD. In a nod to realism the actor playing the enlivened Wooden Soldier, is entirely wooden in their performance.Everything gets resolved on Eve night...it was all a dream after all. Great moments: Sabrina carries in a 2 foot long cooked Turkey... which obviously weighs 4 ounces of polystyrene. End credits track is a punk version of Deck the Halls (punk finished in 1980)
