Santa Girl

There something that just doesn't work in this movie. There are cheesy performances and scenes, distracting changes in photographic techniques that don't appear to have any artistic value. The editing and shot selections sometimes seem jostled and cobbled together. Even some of the dialogue and acting seem haphazard and spontaneous but not in a good comedic way. While the story outline held promise, the script needed a lot more work. The typical triangle of one girl and two boys doesn't come across the screen in smooth way as they struggle to relate to one another, it's almost as if the actors themselves were unsure of how to play their parts. It's not that the movie is a tangled mess, the plot somehow holds together and the effort to make this a palatable movie is more than apparent, it's just that it doesn't quite come together as a finished product. It's not absolutely terrible and it may be worth seeing if one is really bored and there don't seem to be many other options
