An extremely rude and selfish boy, I will never recommend this movie to a child, because is a bad example! I can only use this film as an example to show how good therapy could have helped the boy through the grieving process.

The whole movie is just sad. The whole music is giving you a vibe that you are almost going to cry. Then there is this sad family that copes with loss and a half senile santa. The production value isn't big, and some performances questionable. There is also a side storyline that makes no sense with the mums new jobs. Also we get some cuts to jump between two timelines, one year before and the present which felt weird. I don't have anything good to say about the movie. I would prefer something more upbeat like Tim Allen Santa Clause. This is the complete opposite. There are a couple of emotional moments that worked but most of the movie was just sad and boring.

So we are currently watching this and there are some BIG plot holes! Why is Santa delivering presents from 23rd?? He started delivering to Austria first and people had left cookies out for him wtf?! Had the person whose made this movie even ever celebrated Christmas?? Also, what's the deal with way they've wrapped presents?? Once I spotted the doll wrapped all around each limb, I couldn't stop noticing the horrible wrapping!! These were enough to ruin the film with me! Plus the dubbing! (I'm watching with my kids - subtitles aren't an option!) I felt like I'm watching a Korean dubbed film with the overacting! Oh and why is the mum on day 2 of her job and is trying to save the factory? Why not start her own rival cookie business and take over instead??

To the person who said it's a dubbed over movie. All you have to do is click the button on the right hand corner and change it back to the original language. There are other languages besides English you know. As someone that enjoys movies from all over this was a great Christmas film. Really enjoyed it. The plot could be a bit better but it made for a enjoyable watch with some funny and sad moments.
