The reindeer sound like enemies from Doom. And those characters I believe are based off the sound of a camel. Make with that what you will.
Also Chinese people aren't American I guess. Okay movie.
Okay, so the general populace of adults doesn't believe in Santa Claus. Because they live in the real world. But Santa Claus is real and leaves gifts.
So there's proof that Santa's roaming around and doing something. So why does no one believe in him? Like it'd be one thing if he was just roaming about leaving gifts that only the kids can see.
But everybody knows there's extra gifts and nobody acknowledged is it?
What's the problem that pops up in a bunch of Santa movies and I don't generally care cuz you know, magical Christmas story.
But this is a Tim Allen movie where he takes over the role of Santa and there's apparently regulations to everything. So why the hell does no one believe in Santa!
Boy that movie sure does suck.
If only there was something better, more entertaining still comedic but with a much better sense of Christmas spirit and somebody who's actually funny. Oh hello Bob Hope, why if it isn't the ''Lemon Drop Kid.''
The movie involving gangsters, schemes, hoodlum Santa Claus's and enough zany twists and turns to keep you entertained all the way.
Bob Hope plays this low-grade Hustler, he's trying to screw money out of people down at the horse racing track. His goal is simple. Get everybody to believe that he's giving them a tip and then collect the payment from the one person who wins at the end of the race.
but his scheme ends up screwing over a local mob boss and how he's $10,000 in debt to a guy who hires surgeons to rip people open for small diamonds.
So naturally Bob Hope is a bit desperate.
He's able to convince the mobster to give him a month to regain his money.
Which just so happens to land around Christmas Day. The Lemon Drop Kid ends up going through several different schemes and lands on something so ridiculous that you'd think it was foolproof. If not for the greediness of other criminals looking to muscle in on the action. The Lemon Drop Kid is going to use 'pretend' charady Santa's to gather money in the vain attempt to create a halfway home for elderly women. There being housed in a decommissioned Casino which happens to be owned by the very mobster the Lemon Drop Kid owes money to.
And it's all zany, magical and just playing old fun.
It amazes me so much that a movie like this gets overlooked while that awful Santa Clause Tim Allen film is constantly replayed on television.
Make the Smart Choice, watch The Lemon Drop Kid. It's got fun acting, surprisingly good comedy and some pretty catchy songs too.
And the 1951 film has better special effects the the 90s film.
