In a nutshell

When a man inadvertently makes Santa fall off his roof on Christmas Eve, he finds himself magically recruited to take his place.

Our review

We love the premise and there are many brilliant moments in this movie about a reluctant Santa Claus.  However there are just some things in the obnoxious behaviors and the overkill police response that took away from the overall festive experience. Overall, a nice story.
