About this movie

The story of two conmen who go on a road trip to malls dressed as Santa and his elf. Rather than spreading good cheer, the duo's motive is to rob each establishment, a strategy that becomes complicated when they encounter an 8-year-old who teaches them the true meaning of Christmas. 2003 Miramax Film Corp.

B Grade - Yuk. You know things are desperate when they start tossing dwarfs, right? How did it get past censors with Santa and anal sex in the same story-line? I would have thought an Actor as brilliant as BB Thornton would have the talent to make Santa "bad enough" without all the references to anal sex and anal rape. With appalling line's like "won't be able to s**t for a month". Definitely not suitable for kids and not funny for adults. Can't believe it a Cohen Bros. production! What a shame, literally.

I rented this movie paid the extra for HD and the motion was not good quality. It got a quarter of the way through the movie and stopped. I am pretty disappointed and would like a refund.
