GET SANTA (All Media Release USA 2014)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

Get Santa does not measure up to Tim Allen’s The Santa Claus or Chevy Chase’s National Lampoon’s: Christmas Vacation. It seems to lack a certain Christmas spirit that the latter two movies were able to capture. Despite that, it is a good Christmas story for everyone to watch. Director Christopher Smith does a good job portraying the script’s intent.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. While the story seems a little bland, like we’ve seen this before, there never seems to be enough holiday movies to watch. This is not a bad watch; children will enjoy the concept of Santa in jail.
