That's the first thing that comes to mind after watching this 'film.' From now on, if someone says the word 'pathetic' to me, I will think of "A Visit to Santa."
Plot In a Nutshell: Two children are brought to the North Pole to visit Santa on Christmas Eve.
Why I rated it a '1': Imagine if your neighbor shot a 12-min film starring himself as Santa and his kids as elves. That's pretty much what this is. As amateurish as can be imagined. Acting is terrible, dialogue is terrible, narration is terrible, story is terrible. We are told the children are transported to the North Pole via Santa's 'magic helicopter!' We never see this, of course, because remember, your neighbor made this film and he had no budget for it. But 'magic helicopter?' LOL OK.
I have rated over 1350 films to this point on IMDb, and this is only the 4th or 5th that I have deemed SO BAD that I had to give it a 1. I usually can find something redeeming in almost everything I see to throw it a bone and give it at least a few stars. Usually. "A Visit to Santa" offers virtually nothing. It's that poor.
1/10. Easily one of the worst, most shoddy pieces of drivel I've seen. You (and a few friends) can probably do better with one day of preparation and that's not an exaggeration. Would I watch again (Y/N): Take a guess!
