    Just What I Needed in a "Christmas Movie"
    I went into this with low expectations and walked out wanting to see it again. Look, no one is winning an Oscar here, but it's exactly what you'd want from a movie focused on an ass kicking Santa. The warm family moments, the violence, that asshole sloth from Ice Age, the Christmas themes...it was great. Pay special attention if you can for the hidden easter eggs. They do a nice job tipping Santa's hat to other popular Christmas films along the way. The entire film was utterly unbelievable, but so was Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Slayer and it wasn't too bad either. Check your mind at the door and enjoy the mindless fun!
