Santa's Boot Camp

I was very pleasantly surprised with this movie. I knew that it would be a great film for little kids, but I found myself cheering on the cast of young actors as their characters learned a valuable lesson as they looked at their own actions and their own lives. I would recommend this for children of all ages. The lessons to be learned are valuable no matter what your age may be or what time of year it may be. It is not easy working with a cast of almost all children, but Ken Feinberg has done a wonderful job of getting the cast to step up and give a very convincing performance. Kudos to the whole cast and crew for a fun, family oriented film that we can all learn from.

This film was a dreary affair which I confess I could not sit through to the end. The story is flat and humorless, with the adults childish and the kids way too old and mean and cynical. And as you might imagine, much of the dialogue was to say the least inappropriate. For instance... Dad to daughter at the mall: "You are going to sit on Santa's lap and you are going to like it." The people who made this definitely belong on the naughty list.

This is the perfect holiday movie for the whole entire family to enjoy. My little one has watched it several times and he says its his favorite Christmas movie yet. The story is fresh and warm with a good message! Eric Roberts never disappoints and the young talent is really good. We were delighted to see a younger Erica Bierman ,Twinkle best known for The Hunger Games. Also, cute little Storm Reid from Twelve Years of Slave! Diva was hilarious and got me cracking up! i give a 10/10 for this movie! it got me in the Christmas spirit. ( this movie is also a great gift just in case you forgot to go Christmas shopping.) Merry Christmas!
