Perfect cast and a good story
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
I can't believe it - this is fantastic! After watching Master Cavanagh's two Snow movies and a Trading Christmas, I can't hold in my silence anymore. Can't believe these amazing Christmas tales are only broadcast on TV. I believe I just got my new favourite Mr. and Mrs. Claus! Masters Tom Cavanagh and Ashley Williams has given brand new face to the traditional Father Christmas - all "Ho, ho, ho" and elder and chubby and with white beard old man-like... "Nick Snowden", the name is very cool, and Doctor Reverse-Flash's portrayal of Santa Claus is both fresh and sexy. Nick and Sandy are really in perfect harmony and their story might just beat literally every other Santa Claus stories... Very well done indeed, doc. Also, this movie is the start point of an inspiration that drove me to make a sketch of a young, Generation-1 Santa Claus, one young, unmarried, husky, tall and handsome, charming and charismatic... even with a sword in his hand, his Santa suit a Christmas hoodie infused with an armor set, and himself not needed for any reindeer rides - he soars the air himself. It's really rare to see a young Santa Claus in portrayal, with the only other one being Nicholas Smith Claus in 2015 Charming Christmas, and it's really, REALLY exciting.
Not a super Christmas movie but entertaining enough. Nick looses a young reindeer (Buddy) while trying to teach it to fly. Nick's sled won't fly with only seven reindeer. So what happened to Donner, Blitzen, and the rest? Rudolph where are you? It gets tranquilized by an a-hole hunter and he places it in a small zoo because he is hot for the zoo keeper. So Nick shows up and tries to teach the reindeer to fly. He has to take a room at the boarding house where the zoo keeper is, gee what a poser. There is the high light of the movie is the young precocious boy, Hector. He is of course advanced beyond his years. He is the first to find out the truth about Nick and helps him out. In a twist though the whole Santa thing is based on an ancient spell cast on a miserly man that has come down through the ages. Passed on from father to son, ad infinitum. So they rescue Buddy, Nick asks Sandy (the zoo keeper) to come with him to the north pole where she will be under the same spell. She declines because of the animals at the zoo so he goes. Then he shows up at her house and guess what? She decides to go with him after all. An okay movie but(?).
i thought the movie was so fantastic...I'm am almost obsessed with it..it is a perfect movie to show during Christmas. It made me get more excited for the Christmas season. Ashley Williams is such a good actress...she has such a cheery attitude and is so good at being who she was in the movie..i also thought Tom Cavinagh was a good actor..he played the role of Santa so well. U wouldn't have thought of Santa like that. I just really enjoyed the movie and i think the characters were awesome..i have never never liked a Christmas movie more..i think this is one of my favorites..It also had a good story line to it..i liked how they went back and forth to the north pole and to Calinfornia.
Yet another Santa Claus fantasy film with Tom Cavanaugh as a very non-stereotypical St. Nick. Such films generally play the reactions of characters to being confronted with something in which they don't believe. This movie is no different but does play around with legend of Santa Claus in an interesting way.In overall terms, the script is rather weak and the film's limited budget does show. The reindeer effects though are pretty good. However, Tom Cavanaugh's quirky performance as a nervous, bumbling first-time Santa Claus is very enjoyable and Ashley Williams brings a great deal of warmth to her role as a good-hearted zookeeper. Their performances rise above the script.My favorite quote (from Hector): "Who knew that Santa Claus was a dweeb?"
