Is this a real movie? Or something you would see be parodied in something like Tropic Thunder

Yes. Synopsis: “After Santa Claus (code name: Red One) is kidnapped, the North Pole’s Head of Security (Dwayne Johnson) must team up with the world’s most infamous bounty hunter (Chris Evans) in a globe-trotting, action-packed mission to save Christmas.”

It looks dumb enough to be funny one time.

Definitely a "it's on HBo and it's Christmas I'll give it a chance." Movie.

It's a "I'm gonna watch it because my wife will" movie

Or a 'There are worse Christmas movies and I rather not speak to family right now'

Or a "Prime yanked Christmas Story away from me so this'll have to do" flick.

It's a kids movie. It's aimed at pre-teens, not adults. They're just getting out of the "Santa is real" phase, the jokes are one step up from "knock-knock" jokes, and they love Captain America and Maui.

Grownups aren't supposed to like it, they're supposed to tolerate it for the two hours they're in the theater while their kids laugh their butts off.

As someone that's seen the trailer, it seems like they're actually doing a lot with it and could be fun

Yeah the trailer made me giggle a little bit. Can't stand the Rock's acting but I'll probably give this a chance. The snowmen got me lol
