Le Secret de maman

This movie does not deserve a 2.4. There were a few nice little jokes, the childish imagination is better reflected than in many other comedies with children involved. Sure there are flaws. The acting of the adults was none too convincing and the story dragged now and then. There were several filler scenes. The main trump of I saw Mommy is not mentioned yet. It's the Sprouse twins. Their acting is awesome. Unlike the typical American adultlike youngsters squirting one wisecrack after another their character really is a child. Justin acts like a child, reacts like child and thinks like a child. His facial expressions are great. So I suspect that many critics here simply prefer children behaving like little adults in movies. I don't.

I saw this film yesterday and i thought it was very sweet and funny it cheered me up and i love that little boy from big daddy he's very sweet its good for all ages i'm 14 and i loved it. the boy (Justin) is trying to keep Santa away from his mum he almost kills him its a very good film.

So this film is not the best film in the world. So what! It's meant to be a Christmas film, aimed at kids for them to enjoy .. and it is. Yes, it could have been made so much better, but it's good enough for the children.

I do think that parents will enjoy it watching it with their children. However, if you don't have children to watch it with then you are probably best finding another to watch. I watched it without children, and I enjoyed it but I can see why others wouldn't. It put me in the Christmas mood and that is all I care about!

It is probably one of those films where you either love it, or hate it. Definitely put it on for you children! If you are willing to give it a go, then I would recommend you do.

Yes, it contains elements of themes seen in other movies, but it is a movie for kids with a "feel good" ending. And kids up to age 9 will enjoy it. Parents that are seeking to fine a way to introduce their kids to the concept that the parents are the Santa's will find this movie helpful in setting the scene for their own kids. Some lessons need to be learned and difficult subjects (like divorce) are also tackled. Those familiar with the "Home Alone" series will see elements of a brilliant kid doing similar things, only this time Dad is the victim. And in the end, the movie gives the real Santa one more year of fulfilling the wishes of the kids. Young parents and grandparents ought to rate this movie highly.

This made-for-TV film centres around a little boy Justin who witnesses his father, clad in a Santa Claus suit, kissing his mother. Fuelled by his best friend's worries over his recently separated parents, Justin jumps to the conclusion that his mother is having an affair with Santa. So, Justin decides to behave as badly as possible in an attempt to prevent Santa coming to his house on Christmas Eve night lest he make off with the boy's mother.

Dylan and Cole Sprouse, the child actors who share the role of Justin, are wooden on occasion but deliver a passable performance. This is a rather predictable, mediocre film and will hardly be a contender for any awards but it's enjoyable enough to pass time on a quiet December evening. I wouldn't really recommend this film for very young children though as they might be confused with why Justin is beating up Santa!
