Goofs
As Sophia is filmed walking through the warehouse area to their play area, she has a pink top and skirt with a purple vest. When she enters the play area, the hot pink is gone and replaced with purple skirt and top. (The pink one appears to be the same outfit as she wears on a later day, so it may be a shot from then.)

Keystone cops meet Santa

When the movie begins with what is clearly Santa with his reindeer getting shot down by an American fighter, you figure there isn't going to be much reality in this one. But it gets worse as the Keystone Cops chase what is presented as a real Santa with a lot of magic. It is probably a movie aimed at kids, although there is a scene where the Homeland Security guy threatens two innocent children.

I wish I could say that the acting was tolerable, but the two children were the only ones close to decent acting. Greg Germann was over the top evil and insane as the head agent.

I don't think I would recommend this one for any age.
