Perfect balance between action, humour and Christmas kindness :-) This movie happened in France with a Policeman passionate by his job and less by his family. On the other side of the TV, and in US, a perfect Christmas movie story with a family struggle by money but with a Dad passionate by his family and Christmas spirit! Everything goes upsidedown when Santa Claus decided to give a lesson to the cop and by mistake transferred the men on each other body. Looks like déjà vu but seeing the good guy dealing with drug dealers in Paris' suburbs and the tough cop with dancing on ice is really hilarious 😂

Watched as 'Dealing With Christmas' on Prime Video
Finding this has been a true joy! It's funny, clever, and a great story. That it's French cannot be held against it(!), and actually is the reason it works so well. The facial hair, makeup and costumes support the story, with the physicality of the humour delivering genuine laughs, clever hooks, and sackfuls of Christmas cheer. What makes it even more of an achievement is that it's a body swap story at its core, but with some truly bizarre, tongue-in-cheek twists that are great despite their level of predictability. It'll be a yearly Festive Season viewing from hereon in!
