Catch Me If You Claus

Yes Virginia, I mean Avery, there really is a Santa Claus. There is Santa magic but not as smooth as you are used to. Santa's son is on his first delivery mission and things are a little messed up. If you have seen the previews you know that he get's tied up by Avery. Meanwhile, Avery just wants to get to sleep so she is fresh for her debut as anchor at channel 71 news.

Things are wild and crazy and get more complicated for the Avery and Chris. They get mistaken for the "fake Santa thief" but there is more to it than that.

Luke Macfarlane is perfect for this and he has great chemistry with Italia Ricci. Avery seems to bring out the best in Chris and vice versa.

The script is great. The dialogue is funny. The comedic timing is good.

I'm not sure if this would be great for kids. There are bad guys and threatening thugs. Thing is, I don't remember seeing any guns and no real bodily harm. Santa exemplifies positive and honest values.

Great comedy movie with a little rom thrown in. Luke MacFarlane is back! This character suits his method of acting and doesn't fail to entertain. He was in a couple of recent Christmas movies that were so bad I wondered if Hallmark had put him on the shelf. But this and the one with Ashley Williams has brought him back. His pairing with Italia Ricci was a great choice. Some speak of chemistry between actors, I think these two also show respect for one another. The creators also made a holiday movie without the need to have a child in it to show the joy of Santa. Actors terrific, story great, can't help but get that feel good feeling and even laugh, and you must watch if only to catch a ride to somewhere warm.

I loved this holiday movie from Hallmark. I laughed, I cried. It made my night. I want a sequel with luke and italia. It was a serious story yet filled with fun and it also made me cry - tears of happiness. Luke McFarlane is an awesome actor and Italia Ricci is a beautiful and talented actress. I have seen a number of movies with Luke. I think i have seen Italia before but frankly not enough. Put her in some more movies Hallmark!!! I'm sad that he didn't take her to the North Pole and ask her to marry him. I think that should be the sequel. She becomes Mrs Claus. That would be a great ending or perhaps the start of a miniseries.

I had a lot of fun with this one.

I've seen Luke McFarlane play a lawyer, a tutor, a stuffy businessman and a tree farmer, but now all of a sudden he's Santa Claus' son. He plays this over the top (the New Yo-uk) accent was inspired) and provides laughs all through.

I've never seen Italia Ricci play anything, but she was the perfect choice as they had excellent chemistry and bounced zingers off each other throughout.

The plot involves a news anchor on the eve of her big break, who believes she is capturing the Santa Claus burglar, a local criminal who has been in the news, but in reality she's captured the son of Santa Claus during his first night taking over for dad. His pleas fall on deaf ears until she realizes things don't add up, and the two determine to solve the mystery before sunup.

This is a well-written, well thought out story, fun for teens and up. There's some bad guys that might scare little kids.

This will make a nice addition to the Hallmark lineup in the next few years.

Thankful that Hallmark has gotten back to what made them so good and the agenda has been dialed way back this year, although the commercials....

This is hilarious, look at Fairlane is funny is just this fits him perfectly I've liked all his movies here and Hallmark but this one is got to be the best he's ever done don't let him go Hallmark he's a standout . The perfect Holiday movie.

I don't wanna leave any spoilers on this, that would be wrong those who want to see it need to watch it on Hallmark when it's on I'm watching it now it's almost over and I keep laughing on this whole thing is absolutely funny. Also he pairs well with the leading lady. Usually he pairs well with all the leading ladies he has a good rapport with all of them good chemistry. I don't want to give spoilers on the show people need to watch it it is just great so far this is one of the best ones for the Christmas season.
