An ode to our own childhood, namely the clever (or so we thought) mind gambits we played with our parents, tricking them into buying us what we want, or the extreme lengths we could (and did) go to acquire that which we so pin-headedly coveted. It works as both a family Christmas film and a stand alone comedy, I can definitely see this becoming a new yearly tradition.
