2 Ho`s out of 5.
Trailer
Santa Claus is real. Santa Claus's brother is Fred, and he lives in Chicago. The Tooth Fairy is real. I like tofu. This movie was awesome. The one thing in common with those last 5 sentences you ask? They all are COMPLETE LIES!!!!
I'd like to start this review positively, so here is the short list of good things about this movie. Kathy Bates and her 6 minutes of screen time, the little black kid from Role Models, the concept that Santa was humanized and has a family like you and me is slightly humorous, and the constant condescending comments by Mrs. Claus to Santa about his ever escalating weight problem.
The remainder of this movie was pretty terrible. The aforementioned good things about this movie is the only reason this movie was spared a 1 of 5.
Top 3 Reasons this movie sucked:
1. Once I turned 7, I stopped being entertained by stupid Christmas Movies (besides Bad Santa and Elf!! 5 of 5's by the way!)
2. This is a 2 hour movie and the climax was at 1 hour and 20 minutes. The remaining 40 minutes was a terrible "wrapping up" of some of the WEAKEST story lines I have ever seen.
3. I don't need to see a combined 35 minutes of "Sleigh flying through the air" scenes. 3 minutes is probably sufficient.
4. It was GUT WRENCHING to see such a talented actor like Kevin Spacey play a character that made absolutely no sense in what is sure to be "a film he never talks about again".
In conclusion, I am slightly regretful I watched this movie, Vince Vaughn pretty much ruined any good work he did for me with Swingers (5 of 5), Wedding Crashers (5 of 5), and that movie he did with Jennifer Anniston (4 of 5).
