    Very entertaining!

    Very recommended. My wife and I really enjoyed it tonight. Lightheaded, fun, happy, and funny. Very well done. A great evening movie to watch to un-plug. High quality. Cast is super talented. Story line keeps you guessing. Very unique. Lots of fun surprises.

    It is easily " Netflix" level quality. We liked the local small town theme in Texas. The cast was extremely talented. And to have it all around a simple theme of bowling was well written. Many story lines kept us guessing how the movie would play out. We were actually surprised by the ending! All in all, super entertaining. We were happy we watched it. 👍👍

    All Heart!

    A new gem for the holiday season. Grumpy Old Santa is a family Christmas Comedy but it really is so much more. There are a lot of in depth layers which hit all the human emotions. It's got a lot of those profound meaningful and powerful moments that teach us about moral life lessons through the choices of our character. This movie made me smile, laugh, and also warms the spirit. At the essence of the core Grumpy Old Santa is full of heart. The actors all did great work in creating depth to their character portrayals. Their chemistry with one another really showed in their performances. It was unique, moving, and well written and had me smiling and laughing throughout the end.

    Enjoyed this one

    Enjoyed this film quite a bit, it wasn't over the top with theatrics, it was a simple good family comedy that had me and my wife laughing, plus it being a local east Texas shot film is pretty awesome too. Tons of great moments throughout this film from beginning to end. The acting through most of the film was pretty well done, in some parts it did seem some what like a soap opera than a film. Crew did well because the visuals look great.

    All around there were some places that I felt could have used more attention to make it look better visually but none the less it was still great. 7/10 .....

    Great Christmas movie

    This is not only a great Christmas movie with a heart warming message but also an entertaining sports movie and a fun comedy. The film was directed and shot well and the characters are fun, realistic and contain a nice level of depth. It was a joy to see the actors put their experiences into the roles and help bring them to life. The story contains universal themes and truly had something for the kids hole family. Spike and Deuce are a hilarious duo and Kris and Nic bring that strong friendship to life and we want to keep hanging out with them! Tim is great as the new guy. Maddie played the sweet daughter wonderfully and Julie as Kris' wife was also sweet and Penny did well in her role too. Sandy was very strong with her tough cop personality and played the emotional scenes to perfection.

    No

    I like the actors and actresses in this movie but the movie itself was horrible. I paid $1.99 to watch it. Wasn't worth it. Potential was there I think. I just don't know what to say other than do not watch it. At least don't pay to watch it. I mean heck I even like watching the hallmark Christmas movies but this movie............no. There was maybe a chuckle or two but that's it. I kept falling asleep to it and had to be woken up. Why did I continue to watch it you might ask. Well, I'm just one of those people that has to see the movie through no matter what. So, I did. Should have stayed asleep. Sorry. But no, don't watch it.
