Watch Tyler Perrys A Madea Christmas 2013 Full Streaming Online – What Parents Need to Know? Parents need to know that this 1988 movie starring actor Jim Varney’s oddball alter ego is short on both strong content and Christmas cheer, but his trademark slapstick humor will keep a range of ages entertained nonetheless. Young kids may be confused by thestoryline, which centers on an aging Santa (who’s not

dressed in the traditional red, so as to blend in) seeking out his replacement for the job, so it likely will raise more questions about the St. Nick legend than it’s worth. Older kids and tweens will have more patience for Ernest’s particular brand of comedy, and they’ll be able to recognize the heartening story surrounding a runaway’s journey back home. This movie is a fun blast from the past for parents for whom Ernest is a recognizable face from their formative years, and they’ll probably spot the blatant product placement (Coca-Cola, Nissan, Bic) more easily than will their kids because of their familiarity with the ads of the time.
