Get Santa (2014)
Children will love it. Adults may not.
The children I took to see this film are in the age range of 4 to 10 years old. They all thoroughly enjoyed it.
The story unfolds with Santa crashing his sleigh in Richmond Park, London. He consequently hides in a garden shed whilst his reindeer end up in Battersea Dog's Home. The little boy whose shed Santa occupies finds Santa and then sets out to recover the sleigh along with the reindeer with the help of his father (who takes some convincing that Santa is actually Santa).
I personally didn't think it was up there in the top Christmas movies. I recall there was a reference to killing swans which didn't make any sense whatsoever and was completely unrelated to the story. There was some mild violence in there as well which I don't think goes together well with Santa and good will at Christmas.
Children will enjoy this on a superficial level but adults who see things a little deeper may be left with a feeling of "what was that all about?"
Give me "Elf" any day.
