    cute...
    I caught this movie when it premiered and although it wasn't Disney Channels best, it was cute. Bryan Cranston did a great job of being evil and Josh Zuckerman was adorable as Danny. When Danny found out he was being scamed and tears were in his eyes I actually felt bad for him. The bad part of the movie was Danny's little sister Kaitlyn. She tried way too hard to sound grown up that I wanted to barf. The directing was O.K. and even though it was amazingly close to the plot of "the Santa Claus" I'll give it a 7/10.
