Good plot, easy to like picture, bad editing

Rating: Null/10 (8 November 2003)

Ed Asner is perfect for the part of Santa. Story line was executed without any apparent fluff or extra fillers to make it go the distance. It appears that outtakes were used several times during the first part of the movie. The microphone shows in several scenes, including the frame for it in one scene. I hope this was a case of technical problems in not being able to re-shoot the scenes, and not due to poor editing or budget decisions. The Christmas feeling would have been more felt if this movie was shown after Thanksgiving rather than right after Halloween.
