Watchin' Movies & Dyin' Inside: "Santa Who?" (2000) Christmas/Comedy/Family feat. Leslie Nielsen

I watch another movie and see whether or not it's amazing or if I start dying inside. Today's feature: 2000's "Santa Who?", directed by William Dear. When looking for a Christmas movie, how could I not go with the one that stars Leslie Nielsen as Santa Claus. I suppose I could have gone with the other one starring Leslie Nielsen as Santa Claus, but... whatever.

So, Santa's sleigh goes out of control during a routine flight, dropping him on to the hood of Steven Eckholdt's Peter's car, leading Peter to assume he's just an amnesiac man in a Santa suit, and definitely not the real thing. Did I mention Peter hates Christmas? Or that he's dating a woman struggling to hire a Santa to work at her mall, while dealing with her precocious son?

Plus there's elves, and mild child endangerment, and a whole of holiday wackiness. Does it add up to a great film though? Not particularly, no.
