    Its funny, its a love story, its great. I need a sequel

    I loved this holiday movie from Hallmark. I laughed, I cried. It made my night. I want a sequel with luke and italia. It was a serious story yet filled with fun and it also made me cry - tears of happiness. Luke McFarlane is an awesome actor and Italia Ricci is a beautiful and talented actress. I have seen a number of movies with Luke. I think i have seen Italia before but frankly not enough. Put her in some more movies Hallmark!!! I'm sad that he didn't take her to the North Pole and ask her to marry him. I think that should be the sequel. She becomes Mrs Claus. That would be a great ending or perhaps the start of a miniseries.

    good ideas

    Few genres mixed in nice manner. Luke Mcferlane and Italia Ricci. A serious fist of cliches. A theater troupe and a night full of adventures.

    Not so bad and almost charming , except few holes and few forced scenes.

    But a film having as character the son of Santa Claus in his first job day sounds interesting and the presence of Hallmark veterans a real good point.

    Difficult to be real enthusiastic, difficult to be real critic about this film but, with a mug with hot chocolate and some cookies is just the perfect film when Christmas is expected by entire family. And the touch of classics works more than decent . So, Catch Me If You Claus.

    Catch a falling Santa

    Hallmark has a new style of romcom which can only be described in one word: hilarious! This movie makes a shiny exhibition of the comic chops of romcom favorite, Luke MacFarlane.

    The title of this movie is reminiscent of a film with a similar name, revealing that there's more to this romcom than meets the eye. When a little Christmas Eve/Morning investigation ensues: Who will be discovered?

    Who will be on the run?

    Who will be captured?

    Who will kiss at the end?

    Will it be Santa?

    Must be Santa!

    (Or, will it?)

    Invite your friends to sleigh ride over. As you watch this movie, don't be surprised if you catch yourself smiling with Santa.

    WELL DONE, HALLMARK!

    WOW! Another actual Christmas COMEDY from Hallmark Channel this year! (Please also note "Mystic Christmas" and "The Santa Summit")

    The plot revolves around a TV research assistant who is hankering to become a news anchor like her famous mother. Unfortunately, she got very nervous in her audition and blew her chances.

    There is also a string of home robberies being perpetrated by robbers disguised as Santa. The police can't catch them. Can a research assistant make her bones by capturing the robbers herself???

    Too many of HM's rom-coms merely make make you smile or occasionally chuckle. "Catch Me If You Claus" is REALLY funny and had me actually laughing out loud! It has physical comedy as well as witty dialogue and sight gags. Luke Macfarlane, a loyal Hallmark retainer(!), and newcomer(?) Italia Ricci head up the cast and do a great job dealing with whatever wackiness comes their way.

    HALLMARK CHANNEL! MORE ACTUAL COMEDIES, PLEASE!!!

    Well done

    Yes Virginia, I mean Avery, there really is a Santa Claus. There is Santa magic but not as smooth as you are used to. Santa's son is on his first delivery mission and things are a little messed up. If you have seen the previews you know that he get's tied up by Avery. Meanwhile, Avery just wants to get to sleep so she is fresh for her debut as anchor at channel 71 news.

    Things are wild and crazy and get more complicated for the Avery and Chris. They get mistaken for the "fake Santa thief" but there is more to it than that.

    Luke Macfarlane is perfect for this and he has great chemistry with Italia Ricci. Avery seems to bring out the best in Chris and vice versa.

    The script is great. The dialogue is funny. The comedic timing is good.

    I'm not sure if this would be great for kids. There are bad guys and threatening thugs. Thing is, I don't remember seeing any guns and no real bodily harm. Santa exemplifies positive and honest values.

    • Trivia
      To give it a more cinematic feel, this film was Hallmark's first film to be produced in the 2.00 : 1 aspect ratio gaining popularity among filmmakers as it provides for a wider aspect ratio halfway between 16:9 and 2.35:1 but results in thinner letterbox bars that may otherwise bother viewers.
    • Goofs
      Chris exclaims looking at his watch "it's 11:52 and I've not even begun delivering gifts to the western hemisphere". This an error as he broke into the house to deliver a gift to Avery and she lives in the western hemisphere. Moreover, Santa would start delivery in the eastern hemisphere to have a longer time to deliver as the countries lie east of the prime meridian and "day ahead" of the international date line.
