Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

adonis98-743-186503 When Lucy Cullins, a successful but cranky producer at a home shopping network, hires an actor named Nick to play Santa Claus on the network she gets more than she bargained for. Nick really is Santa Claus, and he faces mandatory retirement after 200 years on the job. Nick must find his replacement by Christmas Eve or the world will face dire consequences and he has his sights set on Lucy. Although Call me Claus is no masterpiece or even the best Christmas movie ever made it was still enjoyable and easy to watch but it also stayed true on the Christmas Celebration and Whoopi Goldberg was really good but for me the stand out performance was definitely Nigel Hawthorne as Santa "Nick" Claus he gave a really good performance and overall this is a simple TV Movie with a very simple premise and i'm gonna give it an 7.5/10

taylorjan-63962 Eight stars as although its the usual story; bad tempered person who hates Christmas for personal reasons blah blah blah, there are some laugh out loud moments. Unfortunately the laughs are few and far between and the film could have been so much better with some original aspects to the story, instead of incorporating others into it.Whoopi Cushion is not the best actress and at one point her performance is pretty cringe worthy. There are some feel good moments and I had a few tears in my eyes, but its a story told over and over again and we know the outcome. Loved most of the film, the shopping channel's take on Christmas was brilliant. Hated the fact the makers couldn't spell the niece's name properly (Ieesha, for Ayesha - what!) and her awful rendition of Oh Holy Night (hear my vocal exercises as I sing!) totally spoilt it. I've added a spoiler alert to this review but we know the outcome as soon as the niece says 'oh auntie you must come to the church Christmas eve I'm singing solo'

Meredith Bird Call Me Claus is an excellent movie!Whoopi Goldberg is so cool! She is an excellent actor. I have to say this... You know the little girl who calls Nigel Hawthorne (Santa)? That's me! And I'm not joking either. I remember recording my voice for that! It was so fun! I was like six. Check back soon under cast and crew; Brian Bird (my dad) will add me on after he completes the Last Sin Eater (AWESOME MOVIE). Anyway, back to Call Me Claus... The first time I watched it, I cried because I was so touched. All of my classes have seen the movie (I brought it in) and they all thought it was AMAZING!!! Oh yeah... Call Me Claus was Nigel Hawthorne's last movie... :( Bummer, huh?

kissshot85 I think it should've been released into cinemas rather than made for TV...instead, this year - we got Elf! What's with that?Although this film is rather slow paced, it's funny in all the right places and without trying too hard. A heartwarming (sometimes heart wrenching) story that includes a fantastic cast. Whoopi Goldberg (great as ever in her role as Lucy Cullins), Nigel Hawthorne (as the most convincing Santa Claus I have ever had the honour of seeing in a movie) and Victor Garber (in a wickedly comical role!). I watched it for the first time this morning and I want to watch it again and again and again!
