Kurt Russell rocks as Santa!
22 November 2018 | by david-tolmie – See all my reviews

Kurt Russell brings total coolness to the magic of Santa. Without Russell's personality, it wouldn't feel original but his presence brings the story to life. Some moments feel a little twee admittedly but a lovely tale with just the right amount of wit and character from the young actors.
