Smart, funny, ultimately uplifting!

"This film is destined to be a Christmas classic. Mostly improvised, its a wry, funny and ultimately uplifting examination of "Santologist" Dr. Lloyd Darrow and his quest to prove the existence of Santa Claus. The real jewell of the film, though, is the interview footage of real children talking about their beliefs about Christmas and Santa. Shatner's narration is hilarious, and overall the film is just so satisfying. This would make a great, smart gift for someone who loves "The Office", "This Is Spinal Tap", "Waiting for Guffman", "Best in Show" and other parodies. A great film!"
New Christmas Classic

"I saw the NYC screening a few weeks ago, and damn, this is a funny funny movie. I bought four copies, so that I could send them to my brothers and their families.
I have nothing aginst 'The Christmas Story' or 'Christmas Vacation' or 'Its a Wonderful Life', but it's nice to have a new instant Christmas classic with such a quirky sense of humor and indie-movie sensibilities.
Who'd have guessed that there's actually a big government conspiracy to cover up the existence of Santa Claus? Now we know! Thank god for William Shatner for shedding some light on the situation. LOL"
I like it!

"This is a very funny movie, but the humor was very subtle. The in-your-face jokes are few, and a lot of the humor is in the conversations and in the editing. William Shatner compliments the mockumentary style of the movie perfectly. My 11 year-old nephew is at the age where he is questioning the existence of Santa. He watched this movie and kept asking if the movie was real. I kept saying, "I don't know, is it?" It was fun. I liked this movie and will be showing it around to other people next Christmas."
