Defending Santa (2013) Reviews
forget gun control, they need to issue permits for movies like this
I am writing this review for viewers of the future in the hope that the damage done to the world of cinema by this production can be contained by warning its potential audience .... not to see it. So, readers of the future, you should know that this review was written in 2015 at a time when governments in the west were trying to control... just about everything. Guns, travel, the internet, you name it. But even in this confused milieu the one thing that it is seemingly still possible to do is make a movie about whatever you like, without checking with anyone first. Which is a shame. Because I believe that if the producers had to get a permit to do this horrid remake of Miracle on 34th Street, someone, someone with decency and common sense, would have asked the question ... why? And further investigation would have revealed that not only was nothing of substance being added to the aforesaid X-mas classic, but this production could actually discourage potential viewers from watching the original, and so diminish its audience over time. Which would be wrong on every possible level. I am not going to tell you this film is wretched. It is not. In its 2 hour running length, it possibly has enough tropes, set pieces and clever dialog to fill ... maybe .. I am stretching here.. 20 minutes. Gary Hudson as the Prosecutor acts on an entirely different level of magnitude from the rest of the cast and in many scenes carries the film on his back. The children are cute. There is a scene with a miniature horse which is solid, although completely out of phase with the rest of what passes for a script. And, oh, in case you were wondering, Dean Caine plays himself, as he always does. Nice work if you can get it.
Want a movie that beats all others? Look no further.
This is the kind of wholesomeness the world has needed for a long time. Feeling lost in life? You could waste a lot of time looking for the answers or you could give this movie a watch (I've seen it 27 times รท] ). The writing, the production, the directing, the lighting and the acting all pull together to bring you this masterpiece of mistaken identity, suspense and childhood nostalgia. Highly recommended for an all around great time with friends and yes, even family. Haha.
My thoughts on "Defending Santa"
LOVED this film....ESPECIALLY loved characters played by Jud Tylor and Dean Cain....perfect film for the holiday season! Myself, my husband and son really enjoyed it. A film to make you feel good, it made you want to bake cookies and decorate your Christmas tree! And the cast excelled with solid performances...hoping this is going to become a holiday tradition, like watching A Christmas Story or Miracle on 34th Street! In this day and age, it's refreshing to watch a film of this quality, without nudity, drugs, sex, and violence, as this does not always have to be included in a film for it to be successful. Or, to touch your heart....
Best Christmas Movie
There's a lot of Christmas movies and I'm so tired of the same old plot where someone is trying to save the toy factory or the ornament factory.,thus movie has a totally different story line and is one of the best Christmas movies this year...don't miss it
Mad about Santa
Defending Santa is a tepid remake of Miracle on 34th Street. Sarah Walker is a hot shot defence attorney who feels a little guilty for getting a crooked man off. She goes back to a little town near the mountains where she has to defend an old man who has awoken from a coma and swears he is santa claus. Sarah also hooks up with the small town super Sheriff Hanson, someone she once had a thing with. The DA who loves to throw an early Christmas party finds it hard to believe that santa claus can be real. Judge Willis is played by John Savage. Once upon a time he was in The Deer Hunter and The Godfather III. I guess an actor has to make living. Nothing too remarkable about this festive movie. Dean Cain and Jud Tylor are likeable.
