Defending Santa

27 minutes in and I can't watch it anymore. The movie has a great start and settings, I like the cast and the Santa, but the plot of a bunch of people trying to say a smiling old man wake up from a coma is dangerous and try to bring him in without the sliver of proof he's violent is unbelievable and cruel.

There's a lot of Christmas movies and I'm so tired of the same old plot where someone is trying to save the toy factory or the ornament factory.,thus movie has a totally different story line and is one of the best Christmas movies this year...don't miss it

Defending Santa is a tepid remake of Miracle on 34th Street.

Sarah Walker is a hot shot defence attorney who feels a little guilty for getting a crooked man off. She goes back to a little town near the mountains where she has to defend an old man who has awoken from a coma and swears he is santa claus.

Sarah also hooks up with the small town super Sheriff Hanson, someone she once had a thing with.

The DA who loves to throw an early Christmas party finds it hard to believe that santa claus can be real.

Judge Willis is played by John Savage. Once upon a time he was in The Deer Hunter and The Godfather III. I guess an actor has to make living.

Nothing too remarkable about this festive movie. Dean Cain and Jud Tylor are likeable.

I really enjoyed this movie and was smiling all the way through it. I liked the way Santa was "defended" by not only a lawyer but all the children and most of the adults.

It's a wonderful family Christmas movie that I recommend if you are looking for something light and relaxing during Christmastime.

LOVED this film....ESPECIALLY loved characters played by Jud Tylor and Dean Cain....perfect film for the holiday season! Myself, my husband and son really enjoyed it. A film to make you feel good, it made you want to bake cookies and decorate your Christmas tree! And the cast excelled with solid performances...hoping this is going to become a holiday tradition, like watching A Christmas Story or Miracle on 34th Street! In this day and age, it's refreshing to watch a film of this quality, without nudity, drugs, sex, and violence, as this does not always have to be included in a film for it to be successful. Or, to touch your heart....
