This movie is really a great one with amazing footage, awesome elf costumes, santa’s workshop, ice caves, reindeer, sled and all, plus a great Christmas song we all love.  It also features a great soundtrack as well, so make sure you lend your ears for that.  Director Alberto Belli did an amazing job with his cast of characters for this amusing holiday film and a lesson is well- learned in the process.  Don’t miss this new holiday movie, which will become a favorite for you and your family.

About The Naughty Nine

The Naughty Nine is a holiday heist movie that follows fifth grader Andy, who has been a bit of a troublemaker this year. When Christmas morning rolls around and Andy gets stiffed by Santa, he realizes he’s on the “naughty list.” Feeling unfairly maligned, Andy pulls together a crack team of fellow “naughty listers” to execute an elaborate heist to get the presents he and the others feel they deserve. However, in the process of finding their gifts, the gang discovers that the best way off the naughty list is to redirect their unique talents for good instead of mischief.
