Catch Me If You Claus

WOW! Another actual Christmas COMEDY from Hallmark Channel this year! (Please also note "Mystic Christmas" and "The Santa Summit")

The plot revolves around a TV research assistant who is hankering to become a news anchor like her famous mother. Unfortunately, she got very nervous in her audition and blew her chances.

There is also a string of home robberies being perpetrated by robbers disguised as Santa. The police can't catch them. Can a research assistant make her bones by capturing the robbers herself???

Too many of HM's rom-coms merely make make you smile or occasionally chuckle. "Catch Me If You Claus" is REALLY funny and had me actually laughing out loud! It has physical comedy as well as witty dialogue and sight gags. Luke Macfarlane, a loyal Hallmark retainer(!), and newcomer(?) Italia Ricci head up the cast and do a great job dealing with whatever wackiness comes their way.

HALLMARK CHANNEL! MORE ACTUAL COMEDIES, PLEASE!!!

Few genres mixed in nice manner. Luke Mcferlane and Italia Ricci. A serious fist of cliches. A theater troupe and a night full of adventures.

Not so bad and almost charming , except few holes and few forced scenes.

But a film having as character the son of Santa Claus in his first job day sounds interesting and the presence of Hallmark veterans a real good point.

Difficult to be real enthusiastic, difficult to be real critic about this film but, with a mug with hot chocolate and some cookies is just the perfect film when Christmas is expected by entire family. And the touch of classics works more than decent . So, Catch Me If You Claus.

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.

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.

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....
