  6. worst 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

  7. **spoiler alert**

    Santa 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.
