This movie is a mix of Die Hard and Home Alone. The director loved Home Alone growing up and as he got older realized those guys would be dead and wanted to do a more adult version. I love how he doesn’t even understand how Christmas magic works but we do see that it’s centered around belief cause as he’s even doubting being Santa anymore he couldn’t go up the chimney but after being tied up by Scrooge and repeating that he’s Santa and knowing Trudy believes in him helped restore his Christmas magic. I love how he is with his reindeer. 9:03 yeah she has the same vocal rasp. That was Cathy Moriarty. It’s funny they also look similar as well. 14:11 she was smart not to say what was in the note cause as we learn later he took the money out of the safe. So after reading the note the mom figured as long as they didn’t read the note they’d never find the money. 21:55 funny thing is she thinks that it’s just like the movie where they get hurt but will be ok. 24:39 it also says he broke his moms heart (first I thought it said neck). One of the producers said that they’re working on a sequel to this. 26:55 it depends on how flammable the debris is. It could be that the debris is too small to stay lit. Anyway they only burned a fraction of the money.

It’s almost new years so a movie I’ll recommend is STRANGE DAYS (1995). Incredibly under appreciated & relevant to this day. Angela Bassett & Ralph Fiennes give amazing performances.

The grandma Gertrude is Beverly D'Angelo who played Clark's wife in the National Lampoon Vacation movies. That's the only thing that I didn't care for. The sissy husband but at least they had an explanation about his being a mama's boy under his mom's thumb that made sense. Ho ho holy ish. 😂

This movie topped Die Hard as my favorite Christmas movie. I bought this movie, and watched it before seeing any reaction videos. I don't think Freddy Krueger, or Michael Myers was this violent

As an Englishman the dodgy English accents, the completely inaccurate bar setting, in the beginning really pissed me off and I nearly turned this film off but the moment he puked all over the bar keeper I was invested. And if you and Santa would’ve fought over him doing that to you, I think rest of this film proves who would’ve won that fight! 😉
