Memorable, crazy movie

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This movie was hands down AWFUL for children and for cats. First, the story was awful. They jumped from one scene to another, without any explanation in the story progression. My question to the writer is where is the parents, the grandparents of Tommy? Why is Marcus alone in his house when he clearly has no job? Why is the mother a bully to her child? This is not a good movie for children. So far, from my own observation, it teaches children how to establish a cultish lifestyle (i.e Marcus and his obsession with Santa), that Christmas is about presents to subdue and pacify children, such that it will prevent the apocalypse... The only character who is smart here is Tommy. But... not that smart when he let Marcus, the neighbor keep the three kittens, when he trapped Maisy, the mother of the three kittens in a laundry bin, and shook it violently, after he trespassed onto Tommy's property! ( I say Tommy because the mother is clueless)Also, Where is Tommy's Father????At one point in the movie, Santa eats peanut butter cookies, of which he is severely allergic... which begs the question of Why does Santa have all this magic, and not cure his allergies, let alone turn a regular pen into an EPIpen??? Yet, Santa was saved by an EPI-pen that was kept under the sink in a dusty first-aid box, which Tommy was ordered to find, while his mother didn't have the clarity of mind to fetch it herself!!! Also, the mother didn't notice a very large, red old man snoring on the floor three feet away from her, while the neighbor Marcus, could hear from the backyard of his home...Is this movie bad? Yes it is. Is it so bad, that it is really good? No, it's just bad.There were other discontinuities in the film that have not been mentioned in this review, however there are enough to test the patience of even a Buddhist Monk.If after this review, you still want to watch this movie, then you should probably watch the sequel.

Admittably, I didn't really have much of any expectations to this movie, given the synopsis of the storyline. But still, this was a movie that I sat down with the family to watch "Santa Claws" during the Christmas holidays of 2016.Now, I will say that "Santa Claws" actually turned out to be a rather enjoyable family movie. And it definitely was much better than what I had initially expected.The story is a bit silly, admittedly, especially for an adult audience. However, the storyline in "Santa Claws" is perfect for the Young members of the family. Jolly old Santa Claus becomes unable to finish his yearly gift run, and a group of kittens have to step up to make sure that Christmas runs its course and that the presents are delivered.Yeah right, you are thinking that too. And no one would blame you, because the storyline really is silly. But the children love it."Santa Claws" actually turned out to be wholehearted and quite entertaining, taking into consideration what it was. And despite a somewhat silly storyline, then there actually was something for everyone in the family to enjoy here. Personally, I was entertained by the cute kittens running around, and I got sucked in to the story quite easily.This is definitely a movie that is more than well-suited for the younger members of the family, but it is also a movie that the entire family can sit down together and enjoy.I must admit that I was a bit puzzled by the low rating that the movie had acquired here on IMDb, because I found it to be a rather enjoyable movie actually, just don't put too much into it - take it for what it is.My rating of "Santa Claws" is a 6 out of 10 stars, as it is a very suitable movie for the entire family.

I like Christmas movies and live with a cat. So I guess I should be a the target audience for this movie.But the movie is terrible and unenjoyable at every level.The production is cheap, acting is bad, and story is uninteresting. The Santa Claus character is not really likable and there is no magic about him. The premise of the movie is that Santa is allergic to cats and has pretty much every common allergy. The story takes place 95% in one house and the block around. There are only 4 characters (excluding the cats) and they are pretty much all the human beings you get to see in the movie. The movie feels really... Small.Other reviewers say the movie is so bad it's enjoyable for laughs, or they think some of it is made in purpose. It's not. This movie will only make you cringe.Maybe some young children could enjoy this movie, but then again, why not have them watch something of better quality that is enjoyable for all the family?

In the tradition of Shaun of the Dead or Fido, the humour is campy and the effects deliberately annoying.The cats are a wondrous mockery of those endless puppies-save-Christmas movies.The kids universally can't act 'realistically' and the adults are B-move standards, but there are some wonderfully over-the-top freak-outs.This is absolutely not a movie to be taken seriously, just to be enjoyed for its send-up of pretty much every Christmas movie trope out there.
