It's not as good as the previous Space Buddies was, but with a Christmas theme, it makes a great thing to watch with the family during the holidays.

Without a doubt the worst Buddies movie and one of the more tedious holiday films I've had to sit through.

It's a tidy story, but never remarkable, and a few burp jokes reveal disconcerting limitations to the goodwill of the film.

Santa Buddies is the equivalent of a flaming bag of doggie dung on your doorstep: it's impossible to explain what you did to deserve it and you want it gone and forgotten as soon as possible.
