The critics who reviewed this negatively need some to re watch this movie with some Christmas Spirit! Kurt Russel was the perfect Santa. The children were loveable characters. Yes, it’s predictable, just like any Hallmark Christmas Movie. This movie is obviously close to Kurt’s heart - Goldie as Mrs Claus, Oliver as the Dad, and even his Grandchildren’s names being called out from the sleigh. I will say, that the “Elves” should’ve been human... however- Two thumbs WAY up for this Gal and her family!
