IDMB declines reviews without commenting if they highlight whitewashing.Declined Candy Cane Lane review:Eddie Murphy brings his amazing charm to the film, but it fails due to excessive diversification and mediocre writing. The portrayal of white characters as villains, annoying or competitive neighbors and overly posh anchorman feels exaggerated, diminishing the overall quality of the movie. The inclusion of a black Santa, while potentially interesting, adds to the film's overwhelming diversification approach. A more balanced representation and nuanced diversification could have enhanced the movie more. Sadly this execution resulted in a totally opposite result. This film is definitely to be avoided when watching with kids, it totally misses the point of Christmas.I sadly had a similair experience with: Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey
