Dean Cain stars as a ski-resort sheriff who inadvertently arrests a sleeping Santa in the snowy woods on suspicion of a crime he did not commit.

Dean Cain is certainly building a resume of Christmas movies.
ReplyDeleteHe sure is & I won't be able to watch any of them because I don't have a t.v. =(
ReplyDeleteGreat film.
ReplyDeleteGreat film.
ReplyDeleteremake of miracle on 34th street, but this move is GOOD. make me cry when the courtroom stood up and said I BELIEVE IN SANTA. this is a crisp, fresh update of a classic.
ReplyDeleteSuper movie !!! Need more movies like this one, showing the human side, to the power of prayer, to helping the less fortunate, to LOVE.
ReplyDeleteThis movie is exceptional! Don't miss it! I will watch it at least 3 more times before Christmas!
ReplyDeleteworst movie ever. it's like a naked gun type parody classic x-mas movies but not in the least bit funny or endearing. just when you think it couldn't get worse, the toy airplane bobbling around on fishing line 'special effect' just had me shaking my head. superman crashes and burns in this one
ReplyDelete**spoiler alert**
ReplyDeleteSanta can instantaneously heal a cut on a man's head and bring a toy horse to life, but apparently has no power to to cure a terminally ill girl.
Stick to original Miracle on 34th Street. Watching this poor remake made me sad.
