• We all know the storylines of those movies. A pretty girl single of course usually meets a nice man but widow with a children, they get along, have fun, near the end of the movie had a fight and finally at the end of the picture, they kiss and live happy forever!!!

    Elvis Presley did 31 movies and most of them were about that same pattern but without the christmas time. Christmas movies by the ton didn't exist in the 60's...

    What we have here?! The girl, the man, no widow, no child of his own. Ok, a little different. What is the plot about then??? It's about a man who REFUSES to play Santa Claus for just one evening??

    What's that??? Who will refuse to play Santa and replace his father for a couple of hours??? NOBODY!!! The movie is ALL about that!

    One star because of the always lovely Jodie Sweetin and zero star for the carachter of the man who is mean, selfish, unfriendly, etc.

    Time to stop making 100 christmas movies like that every year and returning to the good ones like Christmas Vacations or Home Alone...
