Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Paul Magne Haakonsen The first time I got acquainted with "The Santa Suit" was during the Christmas holidays of 2016, as I sat down for a Christmas movie marathon with my family.I must say that this movie actually turned out to be rather good, which was somewhat of a surprise. None of us had expected much from the movie, given the synopsis and the cast list. But "The Santa Suit" actually turned out to be a rather enjoyable movie.Sure, this movie is as predictable and generic as you would assume, given the storyline and the presentation of aforementioned storyline. But still, writer Kevin Commins and director Robert Vaughn had managed to create a rather enjoyable Christmas movie.As for the cast, well, I initially had some reservations as the only one I knew was Kevin Sorbo, and his track record of movie performances has been somewhat fluctuating. But he really stepped up here and performed quite well, and I do think that he was quite suitable for this particular type of movies.If you enjoy watching Christmas-themed movies during the holidays, then "The Santa Suit" is definitely worth checking out. Sure, it is not a classic such as "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", "It's a Wonderful Life" or "Home Alone". And, for me personally at least, this movie doesn't really have that quality to it that allows for multiple viewings year after year.

robert_215 What an absolute brilliant Christmas movie. This is 1 of the best one's I've seen. Surprised this was not a big hit I have seen some Christmas films but this as to be one of the best.

renee0521 This is one of the best Christmas movies I have seen in a long time. It tells the story of Drake Hunter, a Scrooge CEO who learns a lesson about the Christmas spirit when he is magically transformed into a Santa lookalike. Kevin Sorbo gives an outstanding performance as Drake,showing him first as a jerk thinking only of himself,then as a gentle soul full of love & compassion for everyone,including the social worker who wins his heart without knowing it.I have seen many takes on Scrooge,and this one is my favorite as it shows Scrooge(in this case,Drake)learning to find his inner Santa. If you want to watch something sweet with your family this holiday,this is the movie to see! You will love it!

grizzledgeezer I've been watching Hallmark Channel's tsimmes of uplifting Christmas movies as I work in the morning. They vary from the interesting ("Ms Scrooge") to the appalling ("The Night They Saved Christmas"). (The latter is so devoid of joy, wit, or humor -- all the adult actors, including Art Carney, are there strictly to pick up their paychecks -- that it's a must-see for misanthropes and noelphobes.)"The Santa Suit" is a modern version of "A Christmas Carol", with big chunks of "Miracle on 34th Street" blended in. It consistently /sidesteps/ (most) opportunities to be cute, cheaply sentimental, or superficially humorous. It even addresses issues films such as these rarely, if ever, consider. * Perhaps I'm getting old, but it drew a few tears, which seemed to have been honestly earned.Though "The Santa Suit" is an exercise in subdued acting, writing, and direction, Kevin Sorbo's performance nevertheless stands out. I never thought much of this hairy-chest-with-a-dimple -- he did little more than read his lines in "Andromeda" -- but here he actually /acts/ and delivers a convincing characterization. If there's an Emmy for "Best Actor in a Made-for-Cable Movie", he should be nominated.No, it's not a great film, but it's "good enough", one of those rare "Christmas movies" most viewers won't think was a waste of time.* When Drake considers getting an expensive doll for a farbisseneh little girl, the woman who hired him to play Santa suggests that perhaps she would be better off /not/ believing in Santa, and not expecting to receive everything she wants. (The film might have been even better had it taken this path to its predictable resolution. What, you were expecting maybe a sorrowful ending?)
