"Get Santa" (2014) (Executive Producer: Ridley Scott!)
Some good heartwarming bits I'm sure kids and adults would enjoy.
Many clever homages to great films such as "Shawshank Redemption", "The Godfather", "ET". In fact the end is maybe a bit too ET-y I'd say.
Ultimately falls short somewhat to be a long term Christmas classic in the vein of "Home Alone", "Santa Clause The Movie" and "Christmas Vacation" etc. Could have been a little bit better developed and just less dirty jokes / toilet humour which is just a bit too silly for the pro actors, pro effects, pro music and pro cinematography they had.
Broadbent, the reindeer and the squirrel were great though.
6/10
