I've always ignored critics & audience rating and comments .really happy that I am like this! just look at this awesome movie! I mean wow! I enjoyed 1:40 minutes watching it ,couldn't stop smiling the whole time. Mel Gibson was awesome as usual ,he's now my favorite Santa but with all due respect to Mr. Gibson :) Walton Goggins stole the show. skinny man mesmerized me! Billy was lovely as well! when I watched thriller, Id thought Billy is those spoiled, annoying ,brat kid but I find him logical! I mean ,come on !his dad totally ignores him he has difficulty in life and he loves Santa but Santa gave him a lump of coal! I would go crazy too ,but don't think ,Id hire a hitman to kill Santa ...
