So is this the movie JK Simmons was pumping all that iron for?
Looks dopey but I like the cast and that slap fight at the end of the trailer made me laugh so I’ll check it out.

Naw, Simmons has been notably jacked for about a decade now.

There are pictures of him working out with the Rock so partly.

That looks really good. I had heard about it, but it wasn't really on my radar as something to look forward to...now it is.

Well, it's original! Kind of surprised it's not a straight to Netflix release but good on them for trying!

I was skeptical… but Garcia has me sold. That polar bear looks great!

Isn't this the movie that Johnson was paid $50mil for and there was a lot of behind-the-scenes drama? Apparently, it is a train wreck.

Honestly, I expected the comments here to tear it to shreds.

That image of him just popped back into my head. Here is what I found on Google.
"Getting ripped for Justice League was a coincidence for J.K. Simmons, who had recently lost weight for another movie role. The muscular images got everyone talking, but Simmons reveals he was just trying to get fit and give his wife "some eye candy. "Mar 18, 2024"

I'm in! Looks fun and it reminds me of "Rise of the Guardians" in a good way. But I'll be honest...Dwayne Johnson in this kinda kills my enthusiasm just a bit.

I’ve never been much for Christmas themed movies but I had somewhat high hopes for this. Oh well…
I guess it’s safe to say this won’t become an annual holiday tradition.

Most likely not for you, but everyone has their own unique list each year. I have never seen the movie Jingle All the Way , but it's apparently part of the rotation for many others. Point is, only time will tell with holiday themed movies.
