Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

ari-86384 Nine year old Tom discovers Santa and persuades his sceptical dad to help him get back to Lapland. Jim Broabent is very entertaining as the naive and bewildered Father Christmas.This is refreshingly British and a great addition to my annual must see festive films. One of the best Christmas movies ever made.It is also way superior to over-rated schmaltz such as 'critics favourite' White Christmas (1954). Personally I had more fun watching paint dry.

2karl- This is a 2014 film which has a time1hr 42min this my 193 review get Santa a magical Xmas comedy that has Jim Broadbent getting to play Santa twice, lucky guy. Also Arthur ChristmasThe film follows Santa reindeer are found running loose through the streets of London. Meanwhile an astonished 9 year-old Tom (newcomer Kit Connor) discovers Santa (Jim Broadbent) in the garden shed. He has crash-landed while test-driving his new sleigh and enlists Tom and his father Steve (Rafe Spall) to help him get back to Lapland. But what happens when Santa is arrested and thrown into prison?Jim Broadbent once again plays are favorite fat but lovable "Santa Claus", and just like in Arthur Christmas where he played like the forgettable Claus, in this he just played normal good all Santa and his so good at it. The Santa Claus we got in this movie was so caring, so joyful and just the sweetest man you could ever meet and Jim Broadbent perfectly cast in this movie.The all film itself has it's heart felt moments. It has it's quiet moments and character talking about their problems not like in other kids film where the character's have problems of their own but never get's bought up like ever. This is a good lesson for kids, teaching them about silents and dealing with yours and other peoples problems. It's not like some stupid kids film that only allow on loud, annoying and straight up nails to the skin humor.It's funny how the son in the movie is actually pretty smart then the father, and the father himself acts like his 14 years old. I don't know why but that always makes me laugh, like the really adult is actually the little boy and the real kid is the adult.. Get Santa has to be the biggest surprise of a movie from this year. The movie a good time with you family or children its days before Xmas's and reindeer are found running loose through the streets of London meanwhile an astonished 9 year old tom discover Santa in the shed where all the letters are flying he has a crash landing while test driving his new sleigh and enlist tom and his reluctant father to help him and his reindeer's and get him back to lap land but what happens when Santa is arrested and thrown into jail will Steve and tom be able to break Santa out in time for Xmas get Santa is a heart warming and funny family adventure about a father a son reconnecting to discover the magic of yuletide A father and son who team up to save Christmas once they discover Santa Claus sleeping in their garage after crashing his sleigh and finding himself on the run from the police

italiciser I only watched this film today, after reading some other posts and reviews on here I was a little apprehensive of whether this film would be any good. I've read some people's thoughts on how this film is better suited and better liked by people who understand dry humour and British comedy and they are absolutely right. This film is British through and through, funded by the BFI and starring an all British cast. As someone who is British, I can tell you if you understand that sort of dry and often off colour humour you will love this film like I did. If you're American or are used to that sort of conventional sugary sweet Hollywood style Christmas film then this film will probably be harder to understand. While it does conform to the traditional narrative and plot points many Hollywood Christmas films do (Christmas isn't coming this year, a broken family saves Christmas and ultimately their own issues and relationships - the film after all is made by Warner Brothers and so the film does still hold some of that conventional Hollywood magic) its uniqueness is found in it's darker and often off colour humour that is iconically British. The film not only showcases a perfect blend of Hollywood and British humour with the help of Warner Bros and BFI but the film also has a brilliant cast with some fantastic British actors. I couldn't help but smile when I saw many actors I recognise from other British TV shows or films. Not only Jim Broadbent but Warwick Davis and Matt King who I know better as Super Hans in the very original and hilariously British sitcom Peep Show. Like it or not this film is certainly worth watching at this festive time of year. Now, it's certainly one I think I will watch every year at Christmas. 🙂🎅🎄

Hopstimop This movie isn't for American audiences. It's not the cookie cutter, shallow, cliché filled Hollywood movie you would expect.It's a European movie altogether and even if it has all the compulsory elements of a Christmas movie, it brings so many fresh ideas to the story, I was amazed.Even the basics are European, like Santa being from Lappland not the North Pole, or even he's called St. Nicolas, not Santa Claus.Don't believe the reviews written by Americans. It's a very well written and executed movie. Very British.I enjoyed this movie very much and I also got a tear in the corner of my eye at the end.
