CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on The Eddie Volkman Show with Hannah B on a 3-Station Broadcast … Star 96.7 Joliet (IL), Star 102.3 Waukegan and Star 105.5 McHenry on September 1st, reviewing the Christmas movie “Candy Cane Lane,” streaming on Prime Video beginning December 1st, 2023.

Eddie Murphy is Chris Carver, a suburban California Dad whose hobby is mega decorating for Christmas, even though his decor never wins the neighborhood contest on Candy Cane Lane. December doldrums strike as Chris is laid off right before Christmas, which affects his wife Carol (Tracee Ellis Ross) and three kids. When a TV station offers a 100K first prize for best yard decor, it’s game on for Chris, who finds a secret display store that is both magical and comes with consequences for that magic.
