Our continued quest to find a Christmas movie classic in the bargain bins!

It’s Christmas In Compton!

His father, disappointed with his sons never-realised ambitions, pressures him to make something more of his life.

This film does not have that quality.

The most promising thread comes from the exploration of Derricks relationship with his father, Big Earl.

It is the moments that Big Earl fades from the storylines that the film really suffers.

The other threads in this film are not nearly as compelling.

Roberts is neither sinister enough to feel truly villainous or camp enough to be an entertaining baddie.

The main problem with this film, however, is Derrick.

The viewer is given no real reason to care about him and the success of his girlband.

Jarring music cues just serve to highlight how weirdly the film jumps about.

But then hes apparently OK with it for some reason.

to every Godzilla reference and liking terrible ethnic music.

The film doesnt do much better with sexism either.
