Christmas-Reviewer Review Date 3/4/2018PLEASE BEWARE OF SOME REVIEWERS THAT ONLY HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW. I HAVE OVER 400 REVIEWS OF "CHRISTMAS RELATED FILMS & SPECIALS" WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY " C H R I S T M A S " MOVIES AS I CAN.Now Someone keeps reporting my reviews. I guess they are jealous because I do tell the truth. I want to point out that I never make snide remarks about actors weight or real life sexual orientation. If there acting is terrible or limited "I talk about that". If a story is bad "I will mention that" So why am I being "picked on"? IMDB? When one of my reviews gets deleted IMDB will not even tell me what someone found offensive. Well on to this review.In this movie Gordon Covington (D.L. Green) doesn't get to spend enough time with his family because of woes associated with his job as a used-car salesman. Work pressures keep him from family obligations, and he even misses Christmas with his wife and kids. His lack of caring about his family sends out a red alert to "The North Pole" and one elf is determined to reset Gordon's life.Now all of this sounds good but it was poorly made. The acting was "terrible" and the overall plot feels forced and unnatural. Skip seeing this

Mark Reznicek I watched this with my daughters and it became a memorable event. Not for the plot, acting, or cinematography which were all very forgettable, but for the video game that we created. We were extremely bored with the movie, but my daughters insisted that it must get better in the end.Then it happened...Santa fell from the sky. For a slow movie, they made it even slower by showing an empty screen as Santa fell for an excruciatingly long period of time. And he screamed all the way down. No worry. He survives. But like the video of a car crash, I couldn't resist rewinding it to watch Santa hitting the ground again, and again, and again.Then it became a game to hit the pause button on the remote at just the right moment when Santa appears on screen, but has not yet struck the ground--a levitating Santa. If he hits the ground, you lose. The kids all wanted their turn at the game. And each needed numerous attempts before they were able achieve levitation.As others have suggested, I recommend that you tend to your house chores at the start of the movie and listen for the screaming Santa. Then let the games begin! The movie gets 1 star but if you make a game out of it, I'd give it 3.

gbarwis This was airing on movies-on-demand under the title of "My Santa, My Dad." Seemed like a fun family film from the description... the only reason I didn't give it only 1 out of 10 is that no movie could ever be as bad as House of the Dead, but this was at least as painful as the Star Wars Holiday Special.This was so terrible that it didn't even have the "so bad it's good" appeal of a Troma film (Toxic Avenger, anybody?), and frankly the Troma films have better production values and acting than this movie. The acting was wretched, the directing abysmal, the lighting, the cinematography, the editing, the score... quite honestly there just isn't anything about this movie to make it worth viewing.Avoid at all costs, unless your only other choice is an Uwe Boll marathon.

shirleyallennn It's a story about a father named Gordon Covington, who is having financial problems. Christmas is approaching and Gordon is really down because he can't provide for his family. There is the side story that the owner of the used car lot where Gordon works wants him to sell some questionable cars. Not to give away the story, but basically Gordon begins turning into Santa (i.e. "The Santa Clause"), he learns a lesson and his family is reunited. Heartfelt story.
