Cute

Nice film that everyone can enjoy.

BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.

Max is a young boy who is upset that his father won't be home for Christmas. He gets the surprise of his life when a talking moose crashes through his roof while on a test-run with Santa Claus. Now, the moose will need to boy's help to find Santa and save Christmas.

This film is available on DVD and is dubbed. It is however well done and the story moves at a brisk pace that you hardly have time to notice that is is dubbed.

This is a nice "Change of Pace" Holiday film. It captures everything you remember about childhood and Christmas.

for kids only

I barely made it through. A cute enough story but overly simple - and this is from someone who enjoys hallmark movies. Threw in several different side story lines but failed to develop any of them. The description that dad can't make it home for christmas is incorrect; dad and mom are separated and dad is on a trip in the tropics with his new girlfriend. This is a major part of the plot and might affect whether or not people want to show it to their kids, depending on what the situation is. The cgi of the moose wasn't too bad for the budget but the obvious dubbing was occasionally distracting.
