Eddie Murphy, the iconic comedian, is making a grand return to the holiday film scene, infusing his distinctive comedic flair into his first festive feature. The project marks a reunion of the dynamic trio—director Reginald Hudlin, Murphy, and producer Brian Grazer—rekindling the creative magic that gave us the beloved 1992 hit, Boomerang.
Candy Cane Lane is penned by Kelly Younger, the screenplay draws inspiration from his own yuletide escapades on Candy Cane Lane in El Segundo, California. In this uproarious holiday comedy adventure, Murphy takes on the role of Chris, a man determined to clinch victory in his neighborhood's annual Christmas home decoration contest.The plot takes an enchanting turn when Chris unwittingly strikes a deal with Pepper, a mischievous elf portrayed by Jillian Bell. Pepper, eager to assist Chris in his festive quest, casts a magical spell that brings the classic "12 Days of Christmas" to life. However, the well-intentioned spell quickly spirals into chaos, wreaking havoc across the town.
As the whimsical magic threatens to ruin the holidays for Chris, his wife Carol (played by Tracee Ellis Ross), and their three children, the family finds themselves entangled in a race against time. The mission: is to break Pepper's spell, confront deviously magical characters, and save Christmas for everyone.
The film promises not only Murphy's trademark humor but also a heartwarming exploration of the importance of family and the spirit of the holiday season. With Hudlin's directorial expertise and Grazer's seasoned production touch, audiences can anticipate a festive rollercoaster filled with laughter, magic, and the timeless message of Christmas joy.
As Eddie Murphy ventures into the realm of holiday cinema again, this comedic extravaganza is poised to become a new seasonal classic, bringing festive cheer to young and old audiences. Prepare for a spellbinding adventure that blends Murphy's comedy's magic with the holiday spirit's enchantment.
