Ele Acredita Em Papai Noel!

I laughed my head off when I read that the two lead characters are married in real life! That explains how two of the oddest looking actors ever, both wound up in the same movie. But it does NOT explain the lack of chemistry! The only thing that explains that, is the fact that they are horrible horrible actors! But honestly I couldn't get past her crazy eyes and his facial expressions and, let's be honest, looks. Also, and I know I'm not the only one to feel this way, I would have believed a romance between our lead male actor and his best male friend more than I believed the actual story that the writer went with. Oh ya, and he IS creepy! Get that little girl away from him!

I think the movie was watchable but ,somewhat corny .I had no idea the two lead actors are married in real life. I did not feel there was any chemistry between them and they seem somewhat awkward together . I've never Heard of either one of them. The movie is about a man that actually believes there is a Santa Claus. It's kind of cute and I was able to watch the whole thing without getting bored. I think it deserves at least a 5 or 6 star rating. I really wasn't expecting much and there was nothing else to watch. I did expect the lead actor, Tom , To hook up with his roommate, Assan. I think they got along better together. Watch this without any high expectations and you may enjoy it.

I agree with the reviewers who felt the male lead was better suited to his male friend! I could not believe him and the female at all as a couple and then read on and find they are married in real life. What?!

I will say this was reasonably entertaining for a Xmas movie. Maybe because he was kind of creepy going on about Santa, his expressions and some of the clothing choices that made him seem like a big baby! It was like watching a car crash. I do think they were channeling Buddy the Elf here. I'm sorry, I would laugh my head off if I was dating a guy who behaved like that (and then run). This guy seems like he's got some mental issues.

Acting is very wooden, but I've certainly seen worse Xmas movies.

The movie was fun, although, a very Hallmark channel type of movie. C'mon, a working girl meets a guy really into Christmas, never done before! (/s) And it was rather predictable, since the scene where Lisa's daughter (who's name I definitely remember /s) gets lost I pretty much predicted the whole movie. The acting was weak,certain parts were very corny, and (no offence), Lisa's eyes annoyed me.

Now's the part where i'll discard all of the problems and full-heartedly defend this movie! The idea is like many Hallmark Christmas movies, but more over the top. And people say that this movie is unrealistic and the idea is stupid, and for that I have one word: So? This is a Christmas movie for gods sake! Who the hell is going to sit here and critically judge a CHRISTMAS movie for crying out loud? The idea is fun and that's whats the only thing that matters in a Christmas movie. Christmas needs to be cheerful, heart-warming, not serious.

I rest my case.

There are some really great lines in this movie, a lot about faith in diversity of beliefs. Philosophy and love are the main topics here. All rolled into a Christmas movie about Santa.

A typical and predictable holiday movie with a few insights, but I really didn't care much for the lead male character. He was a bit over the top, but I suppose that was the intent, since I believe he was the writer and/or producer.

I won't watch again, but the few inspirational scenes regarding faith in Santa was obviously to be applied to life in general.

A good movie for kids as it seemed to be aimed towards the Mr. Rogers crowd.
