'Candy Cane Lane' Movie Review

‘Candy Cane Lane’ is a mildly entertaining festive tale starring Eddie Murphy. Reuniting with his ‘Boomerang’ director Reginald Hudlin, the new movie is Murphy in standard family movie mode.

Premiering on Prime Video December 1st, ‘Candy Cane Lane’ sees Eddie Murphy leading a Christmas story with a magical twist. This fitfully funny comedy represents the company’s attempt to keep tapping the festive family movie market, something that competitors such as Netflix and Disney+ are also targeting. Yet there’s a certain something missing here, and it isn’t Christmas spirit. It’s Eddie Murphy’s subversive brand of comedy.
