Okay, this is not a great movie. Adjust your expectations. It's an independently produced, low budget effort that seems to be one of at least two vehicles conceived to push the acting/athletic efforts of Mario Del Vecchio. That said, it's an amusing, annoyingly charming holiday effort that's (gasp!) safe for families and kids. Really. Everyone seems to be having a good time--the script is preposterous, and the dialogue so over the top, that the actors can't do anything more than ham it up. Maybe it was the spirit of the season, but I really couldn't diss this movie too hard. It's not an endurance test like, say, "Things" or "Manos the Hand of Fate", but it's also not a camp fest or some vehicle for unintentional irony. Mario Del Vecchio may never hit it big as a child actor, but this good-natured little flick certainly possesses plenty of holiday cheer.
Great Movie, Great Actors, Great everything. I am a huge fan of Mario and his Family. Cant wait for the next installment.
Anyone can see those who made the movie are trying to inflate the rating with 10/10. This is insulting in the first few minutes towards those with autism, the blind and the hard of hearing. As the movie goes on it becomes increasingly raciest, and a collection of ignorant voices/accents.
This movie makes me physically ill. It's not funny, it's not heartwarming, it's nothing but uncomfortable. If you want a movie that's so bad it's good... avoid this. It's just bad. Very very bad.

Do yourself a favor and don't watch this movie. Laughably bad performances and a laughably bad script.
I, thankfully, did not watch this abomination. I did, however, listen to the review by the God Awful Movies team. Note that I employ a 1 to 5 scale when rating movies because I feel anything more fine grained is silly. So my two star rating really means one star. Nonetheless, I was sorely tempted to give this a single star as an indication that it has zero redeeming values. If Ken Del Vechio had been a film school student this, and every one of his other films, would have been graded as a failure. Even his previous film, "A Karate Christmas Miracle" was (marginally) better than this stillborn waste of celluloid.
