    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Parts of "Santa Con" were shot in Stratford, Connecticut in front of one of the oldest churches in New England. The Christ Episcopal Church built their second structure in 1743, which still stands today. Many of the scenes of this movie were shot at this church in the summer, although the movie takes place in winter. That isn't snow on the ground, it's synthetic.
    • Goofs
      When Carol chastises her contractors at 3:30 for what she implies is their excessively-long lunch break, the foreman--the fellow with the chopsticks--has a near-full plate of food, belying the fact that this would have been a long lunch break and he should have eaten that much of his food.

    Honestly good

    This is a bit of an unusual story for Christmas. It's not about snowmen and trees and skating. It is about two men who try to straighten out their lives as they help each other, one more than the other.

    The con man is slick, but he comes to realize that his lies hurt people, especially the one he told a little boy.

    It's not a typical romance story and in addition to that it takes a few turns along the way. The acting is OK. There's a few good humorous moments but also some drama.

    Try this movie for something different in the way of a Christmas story.
