The ultimate naughty vs. nice dilemma takes on a more nuanced perspective, teaching kids that they aren\u2019t the sum of their naughty acts, and it\u2019s never too late to be nice, a lesson learned by Evans\u2019 Jack and his son Dylan (Wesley Kimmel). The deadbeat dad ultimately reconnects with his son, and in the process, his inner child \u2014 something Johnson\u2019s Callum experiences in a much more absurdly literal sense when he regains the ability to see people\u2019s inner child at the end, restoring his faith in the job.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tYes, it\u2019s cheesy, but this movie is best when it leans heavily into the cheese. If that makes your eyes roll, keep in mind this is a Christmas movie ultimately intended for kids who\u2019ve made it all the way through the MCU on Disney+ twice and their parents now need a reprieve. There are still some jokes aimed at the cold-hearted adult who will inevitably be dragged along on the family cinema outing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t<em>Red One<\/em> leans into the camp factor, taking itself so seriously that it whips back around to being totally absurd, 100% committed to the bit, with dialogue about the Naughty List that sounds like they could be talking about nuclear codes. It\u2019s like when a toddler hands you a fake phone, you answer that call. Kasdan and screenwriter <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/chris-morgan\/\" id=\"auto-tag_chris-morgan\" data-tag=\"chris-morgan\">Chris Morgan<\/a> definitely answered the call.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tWith a first installment ripe with DC and Marvel alums (and Hunt), it\u2019s easy to imagine a holiday action franchise taking off in this climate of existing IP. After all, the Santa we\u2019ve come to know in U.S. culture was originally an 1863 illustration for <em>Harper\u2019s Weekly<\/em> with the intent of making children behave and spreading capitalism \u2026 so not much has changed. And although the idea of a Christmas cinematic universe might initially make one\u2019s eyes roll, the addition of Krampus and other lesser known holiday lore offers a refreshing take. If Tim Allen can get three movies and a two-season Disney+ series as Santa, this is a franchise I can get behind.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   aligncenter size-large aligncenter lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:100%; max-width:1024px;\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\" style=\"padding-bottom:calc((683\/1024)*100%);\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/themes\/pmc-deadline-2019\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.jpg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucy-Liu-Red-One.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucy-Liu-Red-One.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucy-Liu-Red-One.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucy-Liu-Red-One.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucy-Liu-Red-One.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucy-Liu-Red-One.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucy-Liu-Red-One.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w, https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucy-Liu-Red-One.jpg?resize=630,420 630w, https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucy-Liu-Red-One.jpg?resize=60,40 60w, https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucy-Liu-Red-One.jpg?resize=352,235 352w, https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucy-Liu-Red-One.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucy-Liu-Red-One.jpg?resize=110,73 110w, https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucy-Liu-Red-One.jpg?resize=285,190 285w, https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucy-Liu-Red-One.jpg?resize=320,213 320w, https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucy-Liu-Red-One.jpg?resize=640,427 640w, https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucy-Liu-Red-One.jpg?resize=800,533 800w, https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lucy-Liu-Red-One.jpg?resize=1280,853 1280w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-font-size-12 lrv-u-padding-tb-025\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\" lrv-u-font-size-16 lrv-u-font-size-14@mobile-max lrv-a-font-body-m u-font-style-italic lrv-u-font-weight-bold lrv-u-font-family-primary u-line-height-20 u-letter-spacing-0 u-line-height-18@mobile-max\">Lucy Liu in \u2018Red One\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\" lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase lrv-u-color-grey lrv-u-font-size-10 lrv-a-font-basic-xxs lrv-u-margin-l-025\">Frank Masi\/Amazon Studios\/Courtesy Everett Collection<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tProducers are Hiram Garcia, Dany Garcia and Melvin Mar, with executive producers Johnson, Morgan and Kasdan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t<strong>Title:<\/strong> Red One<br \/><strong>Distributor:<\/strong> Amazon MGM Studios<br \/><strong>Release date:<\/strong> November 15, 2024<br \/><strong>Director:<\/strong> Jake Kasdan<br \/><strong>Screenwriter:<\/strong> Chris Morgan; story by Hiram Garcia<br \/><strong>Cast:<\/strong> Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Kristofer Hivju, Nick Kroll, Wesley Kimmel, J.K.
