Santa Buddies

[Beate]

Wow, that was fab. The Odeon Covent Garden had refreshments laid on (Turkey and Cranberry parcels, sausages and plenty of juices and hot chocolate), and they had 5 Golden Retriever puppies which you could stroke. The OH was in his element. I got pictures of him and the puppies, then Christopher Lloyd (of Doc Brown in Back to the Future fame) turned up, so I got plenty of pics with him and the puppies as well. He later said a few words introducing the film then sat down in a middle row. It is a shame though the cinema wasn't entirely full, we sat in the last row with no one around us!

It's official - I am a sucker for slushy kiddy films with cute dogs in them. We loved the film, and the fact that they handed out goodie bags at the end with a Santa Buddies activity booklet, a candy stick and a Snow Buddies DVD in it! We hung around a bit to see whether we could corner Christopher Lloyd but we didn't see him again so we went home in the pouring rain.

8.5/10 for the whole experience!

So pleased to read you have had a lovely time, Beate. There's no harm at all in being a sucker for oversentimal kiddy films with cute dogs in them. And you've got a DVD as well!

I havent seen Christopher Lloyd in anything for ages, last film I saw him in was Denis (with Walter Mathauw). But man, did I worship the guy, he was the definitive nutty professor. Dug him as a bad guy in Who Frames Roger Rabbit, and he was hilarious in Taxi series.

What kind of role did he play in this, normal, weird, baddie?

[Beate]

A miserable dog catcher lacking Christmas spirit by the name of Stan Crooge. S.Crooge. Geddit?

Sounds like you had fun beate, although it's not my fav genre, I do like these types of screenings when they make an extra effort for those attending with special events, special guests!
