I watched it. Not bad as you said. Only problem I had was it felt like they were trying to create a “classic Christmas movie” that would become timeless. Like Christmas Story, Chrostmas vacation, Elf, etc.

For some reason that bothered me. Perhaps I was in a snarky mood. I know, Bah Humbug.

We loved it, worth the watch

Solid Christmas movie that will make the yearly Christmas rotation, it's funny, has heart felt moments, good life lessons, christmas spirit, and Russell nailed the part...

Dennis Quaid would make a good Santa.

Watched it today. The overall movie quality was about one level better than your average Disney Channel Original movie.

I thought Kurt Russell was a very, very good Santa Claus.

When the girl fell out of the sleigh I legit yelled out "Oh shite!" - the action sequences were some of the best I've ever seen in (essentially) a made for TV movie.

Looked like a knockoff of Tim Allen in The Santa Clause but might give it a look since everyone seems to indicate it's at least decent

It does have a character named Santa in it.

Not bad at all, if you're looking for another christmas movie to throw in the mix it's worth a watch. Pretty funny moments and overall enjoyable flick.

Sample groups do say that he’s very likable.

Would definitely make a good spokesman for some company I suppose,

Bump... watched with the family tonight. It was decent enough. The wife and I got a chuckle when Santa talked about fake news. A little poke at the libs
