What the Critics say | ||
Box Office Pete Hammond Aimed at kids, Arthur Christmas could be a little trying if you're over 10, but if you want an easygoing flick to get you into the mood for the holidays you could do a lot worse, although Justin Bieber's annoying end credits rendition of Santa Claus is Coming to Town might have you running for the exits. | 10 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Adults will probably laugh with the film more than kids. But the little ones are going to absolutely thrill to it. | 17 | |
