    Its funny, its a love story, its great. I need a sequel

    I loved this holiday movie from Hallmark. I laughed, I cried. It made my night. I want a sequel with luke and italia. It was a serious story yet filled with fun and it also made me cry - tears of happiness. Luke McFarlane is an awesome actor and Italia Ricci is a beautiful and talented actress. I have seen a number of movies with Luke. I think i have seen Italia before but frankly not enough. Put her in some more movies Hallmark!!! I'm sad that he didn't take her to the North Pole and ask her to marry him. I think that should be the sequel. She becomes Mrs Claus. That would be a great ending or perhaps the start of a miniseries.

    Catch a falling Santa

    Hallmark has a new style of romcom which can only be described in one word: hilarious! This movie makes a shiny exhibition of the comic chops of romcom favorite, Luke MacFarlane.

    The title of this movie is reminiscent of a film with a similar name, revealing that there's more to this romcom than meets the eye. When a little Christmas Eve/Morning investigation ensues: Who will be discovered?

    Who will be on the run?

    Who will be captured?

    Who will kiss at the end?

    Will it be Santa?

    Must be Santa!

    (Or, will it?)

    Invite your friends to sleigh ride over. As you watch this movie, don't be surprised if you catch yourself smiling with Santa.

    Original plot for Hallmark and Christmas.

    Yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus. Kudos to Hallmark for having something that isn't be repeated a million times over. I thought the story was clever and funny. I loved both Luke and Italia in their roles. There might have been some predictable parts but at least it was completely enjoyable. No girl falling for a Prince of some foreign country or some kid wishing for his parent to fall in love. I will put this one in my list of repeat Christmas movies.

    ~~~~~~ Please keep doing fun movies like this. From my house to yours, wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! ~~~~~~

    good ideas

    Few genres mixed in nice manner. Luke Mcferlane and Italia Ricci. A serious fist of cliches. A theater troupe and a night full of adventures.

    Not so bad and almost charming , except few holes and few forced scenes.

    But a film having as character the son of Santa Claus in his first job day sounds interesting and the presence of Hallmark veterans a real good point.

    Difficult to be real enthusiastic, difficult to be real critic about this film but, with a mug with hot chocolate and some cookies is just the perfect film when Christmas is expected by entire family. And the touch of classics works more than decent . So, Catch Me If You Claus.

    Luke MacFarlane In

    This is hilarious, look at Fairlane is funny is just this fits him perfectly I've liked all his movies here and Hallmark but this one is got to be the best he's ever done don't let him go Hallmark he's a standout . The perfect Holiday movie.

    I don't wanna leave any spoilers on this, that would be wrong those who want to see it need to watch it on Hallmark when it's on I'm watching it now it's almost over and I keep laughing on this whole thing is absolutely funny. Also he pairs well with the leading lady. Usually he pairs well with all the leading ladies he has a good rapport with all of them good chemistry. I don't want to give spoilers on the show people need to watch it it is just great so far this is one of the best ones for the Christmas season.

    • Trivia
      To give it a more cinematic feel, this film was Hallmark's first film to be produced in the 2.00 : 1 aspect ratio gaining popularity among filmmakers as it provides for a wider aspect ratio halfway between 16:9 and 2.35:1 but results in thinner letterbox bars that may otherwise bother viewers.
    • Goofs
      Chris exclaims looking at his watch "it's 11:52 and I've not even begun delivering gifts to the western hemisphere". This an error as he broke into the house to deliver a gift to Avery and she lives in the western hemisphere. Moreover, Santa would start delivery in the eastern hemisphere to have a longer time to deliver as the countries lie east of the prime meridian and "day ahead" of the international date line.
