Yes Santa is real. Come on what did you think? Ok so he is out of touch and quite inconsistent it what he knows about the world we humans live in (he's not from this world you know), but can you blame him? He only has a whole year doing nothing to inform himself ... ah I think I'm making the opposite case of what I meant to make ... maybe we should start from the top.
All kidding aside, this French movie is good fun to say the least. It is quite out there and quite insane. You have to suspend your disbelief ... and then some. But it is fun and it light entertainment. It is in the right spirit and it really is joyful overall ... with some bumps along the road. This may be one of the best Santas (or performance thereof) .. at least imho! And no offense to Billy Bob Thornton ... though technically he wasn't "real" so he's in a different category anyway
