Wenn der Weihnachtsmann persönlich kommt

I caught this movie when it premiered and although it wasn't Disney Channels best, it was cute. Bryan Cranston did a great job of being evil and Josh Zuckerman was adorable as Danny. When Danny found out he was being scamed and tears were in his eyes I actually felt bad for him. The bad part of the movie was Danny's little sister Kaitlyn. She tried way too hard to sound grown up that I wanted to barf. The directing was O.K. and even though it was amazingly close to the plot of "the Santa Claus" I'll give it a 7/10.

There were parts of the movie that were not that good, but what I found the most entertaining was Josh Zuckerman's acting. I am not sure if it is just me, but I thought he was GREAT in this movie. I have never seen him in any other movie before this, but he was excellent. His acting alone made it watcable (along with Bryan Cranston's, who was rather funny during some parts). I can't wait to see Josh as the Young Dr. Evil in the new Austin Powers movie, he is sure to be great. But until then I will just have to watch this. There were parts in this movie that made me cringe (such as the many computer references), but for the most part it is a pretty solid movie compared to other TV movies.

A decent little story in which we learn how Santa is able to visit all the kids in the world in one night without being seen. Unfortunately, when he visits the Wrigley home waiting for him are chief scammer Uncle Nick and his protégée and nephew Danny. When Santa makes an error he is not only seen but ends up unconscious with Uncle Nick and Danny in his new hi-tech sleigh, but for different reasons. Danny wants to complete Santa?s mission while the larcenous Nick has altogether different plans. Good story to teach kids, and adults, the value of honesty and how cheating hurts those most important to us. 6 stars out of 10

I'll be honest with you all. I only knew this when looking up Disney Channel movies and only thought it was just gonna be some simple and dumb Christmas movie. But I did not expect for the film to be this bad. 'Twas The Night is heads down, the worst Christmas movie Disney Channel has ever produced. The story is completely unoriginal, the visuals are nearly a joke, the comedy is nothing but cringe, the acting is way too over-the-top, and the characters are so unlikable that they rightfully deserve to be on the naughty list, specially Nick for treating being Santa as fun and games. Honestly, I really don't think it will be worth watching for Christmas. I think it's much better to stick with The Santa Clause and The Christmas Chronicles instead of this. I bring those movies up because they do a much better job telling a story about Santa Claus, contain much appealing looking visuals, and know how to be funny. This is the one Christmas Eve that really isn't worth sitting through the night.

A former actress takes charge of a town's annual Christmas Eve courthouse production, in which the true authorship of the famous poem "A Visit From St. Nick" is debated. A mischievous 14-year-old boy and his irresponsible uncle almost ruin Christmas when they decide to take Santa's new high-tech sleigh for a joyride.

Bryan Cranston Our eternal Walter White, immortalized in Breaking Bad, a silly Christmas to watch... The little brother is so cute and he idolizes his older brother, even though he treats him so badly, it's very cute...
