DanTheMan 2 @DanTheMan2150AD Jan 12 It really makes you wonder whether Christmas cheer is a renewable resource, and whether it should be regulated. Watching this felt like unwrapping a present and discovering its socks. Now, I love receiving a good pair of socks on Christmas, except these socks are on fire and singing. Not the kind of socks I’d wish upon anyone but kinda have to admire the weirdly unshakable optimism that the film commits to wholeheartedly; it genuinely believes its demented logic delivered with an absolute sincerity to the point that it thinks toys, laughter and a few songs can fix anything, even planetary dysfunction. At one point, children teach Martians how to have fun, which feels less like a plot development and more like a philosophical threat. The acting is atrocious, both the costumes and sets look ready to fall apart at the seems from the dodgy workmanship and the entire soundscape feels like a carefully constructed attack on your soul, in the end Santa always wins… hooray for Santa Claus.

The weirdest detail is that it's produced by Joseph Levine, who went on to oversee A Bridge Too Far and several other Richard Attenborough epics. Here, he clearly had no money for a script, costumes or decent sets. Santa chuckles a lot, one of the Martians has a moustache, and Pia Zadora has a tiny cameo. The rest is silence.

The costumes, the makeup, the sets, dialogue and music are terrible. See more Shawn R @satiable 12/13/2024 It's so bad, it's even worse than Plan 9 From Outer Space See more Read all reviews
