This is all you need to know about this movie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0ofUZAE_SQ Watch this.
This is what really happened when "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus."It sums it up in about 3 minutes and is absolutely hilarious. Skip the movie and watch this instead.
Instead of a heart warming tale told best by ABC Family, we get the real account of a little boy who wanders downstairs Christmas Eve and finds his mother and Santa Claus. The little boy decides to run upstairs and tell Dad and then things go down hill from there. Honestly watch this, it is great. Not to mention it saves you about 2 hours that you would spend watching this poor excuse of a film.

A movie for young kids
Yes, it contains elements of themes seen in other movies, but it is a movie for kids with a "feel good" ending. And kids up to age 9 will enjoy it. Parents that are seeking to fine a way to introduce their kids to the concept that the parents are the Santa's will find this movie helpful in setting the scene for their own kids. Some lessons need to be learned and difficult subjects (like divorce) are also tackled. Those familiar with the "Home Alone" series will see elements of a brilliant kid doing similar things, only this time Dad is the victim. And in the end, the movie gives the real Santa one more year of fulfilling the wishes of the kids. Young parents and grandparents ought to rate this movie highly.
Christmas for children
So this film is not the best film in the world. So what! It's meant to be a Christmas film, aimed at kids for them to enjoy .. and it is. Yes, it could have been made so much better, but it's good enough for the children.
I do think that parents will enjoy it watching it with their children. However, if you don't have children to watch it with then you are probably best finding another to watch. I watched it without children, and I enjoyed it but I can see why others wouldn't. It put me in the Christmas mood and that is all I care about!
It is probably one of those films where you either love it, or hate it. Definitely put it on for you children! If you are willing to give it a go, then I would recommend you do.

enjoyable
far to be a good film, it is a smart use of very simple idea. jealousy of a boy, who discover in Santa the great enemy, the moments of revenge and the mix of fondness and smile, the dialogues with his friend and the proportion of the imagined disaster, the last part and the expected gift with the logical source . this is all.details who could does it a kind of Christmas classic because it has the few clues who are useful for be the favorite for public of genre. nothing special. but enjoyable.a kind of version for Home Alone moments, different perspective about a magic moment from childhood and the splendid happy end. so, what expect more ?
Film suffers because the leads are 20 years too old for the parts
Listen I like Connie Sellecca and Corbin Bernsen. They are good actors but they are both around 50 playing parents to a 7 year old.
This film however also suffers from steeling a few things from "Home Alone" and failing to execute even a minor chuckle from obvious set- ups.
In this film Young Justin Carver (Dylan and Cole Sprouse) is having Thanksgiving dinner with his family, only for it to end with the news that his best friend Bobby's (Hannelius) bickering parents are finally deciding to divorce. When he overhears his own parents, Stephanie and David Carver (Sellecca and Bernsen) having a heated argument, Justin retreats to his bedroom. A few minutes later, Justin peeks downstairs, only to see his mother Stephanie locked in a warm, romantic embrace with none other than Santa Claus (actually his father in a Santa suit). He takes a photo, shows it to Bobby the next day, and then sends it to Mrs. Claus. Fooled by Bobby's own situation with his parents, Justin jumps to the conclusion that his mother is having an affair with Santa. So he decides to behave as badly as possible in an attempt to prevent Santa from coming to his house on Christmas Eve night for him to make off with the Justin's mother. The resulting hi-jinks include Justin setting traps and throwing snowballs at a street Santa, and even getting himself in trouble at school. Then, on Christmas Eve, Justin's mother receives a letter from the post office. Inside was the photo which didn't actually get sent. In the end, Justin finds out that Santa was actually his father and apologizes to the street Santa.
This film might entertain young kids but parents will hate this. It also seems mean to show that Santa can put married people back together if that is child;s Christmas wish.
If you want to watch this and you are over 12 you will be bored!
