I was hesitant to watch this movie as I am very traditionalist when it comes to Christmas movies but my son wanted to watch it so I put it on and wow, it was a lot of fun to watch and both my son and daughter loved it. The way that Russell portrays Santa is perfect he doesn't put any pretense into the role he is simply Santa. The younger performers are quite good as well and the jail house scene is perfection. I think this movie will for sure make our families top 5 Christmas movies.
