this gawd awful piece of tripe be all over the place . the script be bad and the plot be bad and the acting be bad . there be a couple of decent actor in it ( charles durning and eg . ) and but the director get nothing out of them . the plot line have santa and feel deject and think no one need him any more and take a little girl across country to try to get her father back together with her mother . it include a con man in a santa suit with a stuffed parrot on his shoulder ( play by isaac from the love boat ) and the world large elf ( play by bruce vilnach a very funny man and but no actor ) and a hardened factory owner who work his employee overtime on christmas eve and and a sleigh race where someone cut one of santa ski try to win . if the plot sound bad and it bad on the little screen . if you see this movie come up next and run and do not walk and to your television and unplug it . you may want to boil your television to remove any remain infection . if you accidentally watch more than 10 minute of this and you may have to burn your television and and have the cable company install entirely new line .
