Defending Santa

Just watched it and loved it! Does it seem familiar? Yes! Does it make you feel good? Yes!! No nonsense feelgood christmas movie for watching during the holidays! With Dean "Lois and Clark" Cain and Jodie " Full house" Sweetin.

I really enjoyed this movie and was smiling all the way through it. I liked the way Santa was "defended" by not only a lawyer but all the children and most of the adults.

It's a wonderful family Christmas movie that I recommend if you are looking for something light and relaxing during Christmastime.

This is the kind of wholesomeness the world has needed for a long time. Feeling lost in life? You could waste a lot of time looking for the answers or you could give this movie a watch (I've seen it 27 times ÷] ). The writing, the production, the directing, the lighting and the acting all pull together to bring you this masterpiece of mistaken identity, suspense and childhood nostalgia. Highly recommended for an all around great time with friends and yes, even family. Haha.

Defending Santa is a tepid remake of Miracle on 34th Street.

Sarah Walker is a hot shot defence attorney who feels a little guilty for getting a crooked man off. She goes back to a little town near the mountains where she has to defend an old man who has awoken from a coma and swears he is santa claus.

Sarah also hooks up with the small town super Sheriff Hanson, someone she once had a thing with.

The DA who loves to throw an early Christmas party finds it hard to believe that santa claus can be real.

Judge Willis is played by John Savage. Once upon a time he was in The Deer Hunter and The Godfather III. I guess an actor has to make living.

Nothing too remarkable about this festive movie. Dean Cain and Jud Tylor are likeable.

27 minutes in and I can't watch it anymore. The movie has a great start and settings, I like the cast and the Santa, but the plot of a bunch of people trying to say a smiling old man wake up from a coma is dangerous and try to bring him in without the sliver of proof he's violent is unbelievable and cruel.
