The Big Picture

  • Eddie Murphy is back in the comedy game, starring in his "first" Christmas movie, Candy Cane Lane, under his three-picture deal with Amazon.
  • While the film falls into the family-friendly fare category, it still delivers some laughs, but doesn't fully utilize Murphy's comedic talents.
  • Candy Cane Lane may not be a standout Christmas movie, but it's a light and fluffy option for a holiday movie night with the family.
