"Red One" has not received much holiday cheer from critics since hitting theaters on Nov. 15.  The film debuted at only $32 million despite a $250 million budget.

Star-studded cast cannot save ‘Red One’

By Tim Anzalone, Contributing Writer November 20, 2024
“Red One,” released Nov. 15, is Hollywood’s marketing dream. Two of the biggest stars, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Chris Evans, travel around the world with name-brand toys like Hot Wheels. Their mission is to save Santa, who is codenamed RED ONE, and played by another one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, J.K. Simmons. Callum Drift (Johnson) is a member of the North Pole’s Enforcement, Logistics and Fortification team and Santa’s right-hand man. Callum teams up with heartthrob Jack O’Malley (Evans), a deadbeat dad trickster who happens to be a master thief and hacker. 
“The Princess Switch: Switched Again” retains the Christmas charm of the original “The Princess Switch” movie, but the acting drags it down with Vanessa Hudgens taking on a third role in the main cast.
