Not as Bad as the IMDb Score Indicates
BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 300 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.
In this film
Sam Whipple, a broke lawyer who is young at heart, meets Santa Claus and learns that he's upset because he has a new landlord named Phineas T. Prune, to whom Santa owes a lot of rent. Prune has threatened to confiscate Santa's toys and have him, Mrs. Claus and the elves evicted. In order to raise money, Sam and Santa get jobs at a department store. Santa is nervous at first, but when the children arrive they naturally gravitate to him and he becomes a big success.
Prune schemes to thwart Sam and Santa's plans. He buys the department store, has his butler destroy several toys and takes the damages out of Santa and Sam's paychecks. He gloats that Santa will never be able to pay his rent on time. Children of the world then unite to save Santa.
Now is the acting great "No" Could the story be better? "Yes". Is it family safe "Yes". Does this film tell the story well? "Kind of"
There is worse movies out there with a Santa Theme story and there is of course much better films however this film is safe for small children and has a strange almost Tim Burton feeling built into the cinematography of the entire production.
