Babbo Natale cerca moglie

Love this movie. I actually live where it was filmed. However, There's a lot lacking in Gutenberg's performance. It seems forced and poorly acted and the constant fake Ho, Ho, Ho is unbearable.

Gutenberg's father (retiring Santa) is also a terrible actor.

The plot is great and all the other actors do a great job.

Better casting was needed.

I really enjoyed this Hallmark DVD. Crystal Bernard is stunning and a real delight to watch. I reckon it's her Texas beauty that makes her so gorgeous. Steve Guttenberg plays young St. Nick, and does a great job. This is one of those kind of movies that you wish could never end. If your single, male or female, give this movie a try. Thanks again Hallmark, ya'll did good on this one. This movie brought a tear to my eyes when Nick helps out the Dept. store Santa. You will have to watch this movie for yourself and see if it makes you feel good too. It is refreshing to see this movie because the last Christmas / Santa movie I saw was Billy Bob's horrid "Bad Santa" - lol.

This Christmas movie is timeless, and I find it enjoyable every time I watch it!.....The plot definitely stays focused on Christmas...and flows nicely...a really nice magical type of Christmas movie...a light-hearted, "fun" movie, without being corny to prompt changing the channel...and without annoying "background" (so called) "singing" and / or unrelated songs and /or blaring music!...which Hallmark Christmas movies are notorious for having....This movie totally is unlike the other Hm. "Christmas" movies that attempted to have the same effect...but came up extremely short.

The "humbug" theme was expressed in a way that made the movie optimistically interesting and cheerful....The very talented Crystal Bernard and Steve Guttenberg were excellent choices. Neither one was annoying. I think Steve particularly was an excellent choice to carry out his role. He had the right expressions, appearance, humor, sincerity, and voice tone...best Santa Jr. by far. Everyone's acting was nothing less than ideal. And on the whole, this movie is second to none in its category.

***Congratulations to Steve, Crystal, and the staff for making a very, very enjoyable Christmas movie!***

This is a movie that I would buy on DVD. It is the perfect Christmas movie. It did not have one single thing that was negative. Steve Guttenberg was perfect in his role as Nick. His characterization was so complete, down to his natural sounding Ho Ho Ho's! He demonstrated the kind of man that any woman would be so blessed to have. I have enjoyed him in films for years and he is as captivating as ever. Krystal Bernard was so cute. I have watched her for years, also, since It's a Living to Wings. She very aptly portrayed a New Milenium Career Woman and Mother. I have always enjoyed the dimension she brings to her characters and gee, she never seems to age! The boy who played Jake was great! He reminded me a bit of the boy who played in Sleepless in Seattle. He is very talented and gave a memorable performance. I know I will recognize him in future projects! I wish so much that they would repeat the airing of this film this year. I look forward to seeing it often in the years to come. This is a Christmas film that I won't ever get tired of seeing. I really loved it!

To me, the only annoying thing about the movie was Nick's laugh. I realize that as Santa, he has to "ho ho ho" sometimes, but I didn't like hearing it every single time he laughed. Other than that, it was a great movie. Crystal Bernard is beautiful and always likable and the kid who played her son was a doll, too. You have to remember that Christmas movies are, as a general rule, not going to be Oscar winners. You have to like the genre first, and if you don't, you probably won't like most Christmas movies and should stay away from them (while muttering "Bah! Humbug!" to yourself!!!!). This one is better than most.
