Santa Claus the Movie (Widescreen Edition) Reviews
Ahh the Memories
I have been on a kick trying to find some of the old movies I remember and loved during my childhood. Santa Claus was my favorite Christmas movie by far. I hope my children love it as much as I still do!
Entertaining Holiday Fun!
This is one of the 10 best family holiday movies of all time! Not brilliantly written, but wonderfully entertaining. Dudley Moore plays an ambitious, but naive Elf who is easily manipulated and taken advantage of. Moore has the uncanny ability to be both heartwarming, and pathetic, to a level few other actors can attain. John Lithgow is at his maniacal best as the evil-hearted New York industrialist-toymaker who exploits Moore's Elfin character to near disaster. David Huddleston is genuine and loveable as "The Big Guy", Santa himself!
In the first half of the film we get to see how Claus was chosen by the Elves for his immortal role. The sets and costumes take you to the rich and beleivable fantasy world of Santa's workshop in the frozen north.
The second half of the film is set in modern New York City. The contrast is obvious, and sets up a tender subplot about a young boy who lives on the street, and a young girl whose heart is rapt in the spirit of the season.
Can Santa come to his friend's rescue? Can he thwart the plans of the evil industrialist in time to save Christmas? (Remember, this is a "family" picture!)
Sit back and enjoy some Christmas fun!
