There's Something in the Barn
“Traditions die hard!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 58, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
An American family's Norwegian inheritance comes with a barn elf and rules they are spectacularly ill-equipped to respect. The early culture-clash jokes are broad, but the household-defence chaos gives the Christmas visit a livelier second gear. Folklore has rarely sounded so much like a property disclosure problem.
