The film's pervasively underwhelming atmosphere is perpetuated by the inclusion of several eye - rollingly misguided sequences (eg Santa and a few elves are trapped inside a child's bedroom), with the resulting lack of momentum ensuring that the episodic midsection, which revolves primarily around Arthur's ongoing efforts at finding said little girl's house, fares especially poorly and is, for the most part, nothing short of interminable.
