Politician Max Schmucker (Kevin Pollak) has a hatred for Christmas and has set in motion a plan to ban Christmas. Meanwhile Santa has been tapped inside a barn of two little kids due to fact that people no longer believe in him and he’s losing his powers. The kids set out on a plan to save Santa.
this new 2013 Christmas movie is a hodge-podge of a number of different things. On one side, it appears to be a harmless kids movie in the style of the old 60’s campy films, but it has some features that really anger some folks. Santa uses his special powers in a way that he’s not supposed to in order to heal someone, which really makes the Christians mad. The guy who play santa (Abraham Benrubi) is actually a really good 60′ style Santa. All in all I was not overly impressed by this movie. As a 2013 film, it has the feel of something really old fashioned, and did not really keep my attention. I suppose younger kids might enjoy it, but by the same token, I think there a lot of other movies that they would like much more than this. However I hesitate to really bash this film, as some people really enjoy it, so maybe it depends on your state of mind when you watch it. For me, it was not interesting enough, and was a lot too campy to work. I can’t really recommend it, but if you really like it, help me understand why. I didn’t get it.
