I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus_720p(480P)

source: I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

I totally LOVE the plot concept for this movie: little boy spies on his mother kissing "Santa" (in reality his costumed father), so he starts a "Home Alone"-style prank war to prevent the jolly big guy from visiting his house on Christmas Eve and threatening his parents' marriage. As a story, I actually like it BETTER than "Home Alone" because it seems like a situation that could actually happen in reality and the boy's pranks are toned-down enough that a real child could probably pull them off. My one complaint (and hence the 9 stars instead of 10) is that this script, with so much potential, was only given the straight-to-television, B-list actor treatment. If this had just been done with a bigger-name cast and given the full big theater-release treatment, it could've ended up on the same mainstream "Christmas classics" list as "A Christmas Story," "Elf," and even possibly replaced "Home Alone." I feel sorry for the writer of this little gem that their script wasn't picked up by a big-time movie company and given the proper production the story deserved.

As mentioned in the plot summary of this movie, the basic premise is that a young boy sees his mother kissing his dad, who happens to be dressed as Santa at the time. What it doesn't mention is that this is in November, and that throughout the movie the mother seems to have a thing for Santa, with the dad sending his flowers from 'Santa', and her addressing him as Santa over the phone. It is in fact this prolonged behaviour that causes the boy to become worried. He even discusses with his friend at one point about why the mother would be attracted to Santa. Is it okay to have kinks and fetishes? Yes it is. Is it okay to write a children's film with the kink serving as a central plot point? No! The rest of the movie is also odd and somewhat off-putting, especially the boy's attempts to keep Santa away by misbehaving. This leads to entertaining scenes such as him putting a dead fish in the Christmas grab-bag, or lynching a model Santa from a tree. It funny because a little girl cries over Santa's apparent suicide, get it? The movie also seems me to hate American culture, by showing scenes where the adults make the two main children sit down for a Christian prayer, then unironically have one of the adults say she is thankful for an upcoming divorce. This is instantly resolved in the final scene, where the two seem to be in love again and have decide to have a couple of counselling sessions instead. This doesn't even seem to be done ironically as a social critique, it's hastily thrown in at the start, used to motivate some tension for the main story-line, then forgotten until the end. It actually feels clumsier than the famous 'breast cancer' subplot of The Room, at least that was only forced into a scene once. Overall, do not show your child this movie. If you are searching for a family film about a small child pranking adults, there are many out there, and many better than this steamer.

far to be a good film, it is a smart use of very simple idea. jealousy of a boy, who discover in Santa the great enemy, the moments of revenge and the mix of fondness and smile, the dialogues with his friend and the proportion of the imagined disaster, the last part and the expected gift with the logical source . this is all.details who could does it a kind of Christmas classic because it has the few clues who are useful for be the favorite for public of genre. nothing special. but enjoyable.a kind of version for Home Alone moments, different perspective about a magic moment from childhood and the splendid happy end. so, what expect more ?

Listen I like Connie Sellecca and Corbin Bernsen. They are good actors but they are both around 50 playing parents to a 7 year old. This film however also suffers from steeling a few things from "Home Alone" and failing to execute even a minor chuckle from obvious set- ups. In this film Young Justin Carver (Dylan and Cole Sprouse) is having Thanksgiving dinner with his family, only for it to end with the news that his best friend Bobby's (Hannelius) bickering parents are finally deciding to divorce. When he overhears his own parents, Stephanie and David Carver (Sellecca and Bernsen) having a heated argument, Justin retreats to his bedroom. A few minutes later, Justin peeks downstairs, only to see his mother Stephanie locked in a warm, romantic embrace with none other than Santa Claus (actually his father in a Santa suit). He takes a photo, shows it to Bobby the next day, and then sends it to Mrs. Claus. Fooled by Bobby's own situation with his parents, Justin jumps to the conclusion that his mother is having an affair with Santa. So he decides to behave as badly as possible in an attempt to prevent Santa from coming to his house on Christmas Eve night for him to make off with the Justin's mother. The resulting hi-jinks include Justin setting traps and throwing snowballs at a street Santa, and even getting himself in trouble at school. Then, on Christmas Eve, Justin's mother receives a letter from the post office. Inside was the photo which didn't actually get sent. In the end, Justin finds out that Santa was actually his father and apologizes to the street Santa. This film might entertain young kids but parents will hate this. It also seems mean to show that Santa can put married people back together if that is child;s Christmas wish. If you want to watch this and you are over 12 you will be bored!

This film isn't even worth the flimsiest of wrapping paper. Young Justin Carver(Cole & Dylan Sprouse)happens to see his beautiful mother(Connie Sellecca)kissing Santa Claus; not knowing it is really his father. Justin has heard so many stories about divorce from his friends, that he fears his mother is having an affair that might lead to divorce. Justin wanting to keep his family intact...declares war against Santa. This movie becomes a poor man's HOME ALONE, with Justin putting jolly old St. Nick through hell and high water; determined to keep him away from his mother. This flick is just not funny at all. To be exact, is pretty lame even for a made-for-TV project. Also in the list of players: Corbin Bersen, Sonny Carl Floyd, Jeff Olson, Eric Jacobs and Tony Larimer.

So this film is not the best film in the world. So what! It's meant to be a Christmas film, aimed at kids for them to enjoy .. and it is. Yes, it could have been made so much better, but it's good enough for the children. I do think that parents will enjoy it watching it with their children. However, if you don't have children to watch it with then you are probably best finding another to watch. I watched it without children, and I enjoyed it but I can see why others wouldn't. It put me in the Christmas mood and that is all I care about! It is probably one of those films where you either love it, or hate it. Definitely put it on for you children! If you are willing to give it a go, then I would recommend you do.

Awful! Not funny at all! I don't know how to start... this is not a family movie and obviously not an educational one. The kid is a human misery! The poor old man dressed like Santa is beaten on the street, fired from the mall and all because of this trash. Even when the kid finds out that Santa is innocent, he doesn't felt sorry at all for the old men who is now a beggar on the Christmas day. Another thing: stupid little kid could kill his father when he plants a lot of traps in the front-yard. If your kid watches this movie will become a defiant idiot one. One more thing: why the real Santa Claus bought the Titanium present?? The disgusting kid was naughty all the time... what will the other kids learn from that??

This movie does not deserve a 2.4. There were a few nice little jokes, the childish imagination is better reflected than in many other comedies with children involved. Sure there are flaws. The acting of the adults was none too convincing and the story dragged now and then. There were several filler scenes. The main trump of I saw Mommy is not mentioned yet. It's the Sprouse twins. Their acting is awesome. Unlike the typical American adultlike youngsters squirting one wisecrack after another their character really is a child. Justin acts like a child, reacts like child and thinks like a child. His facial expressions are great. So I suspect that many critics here simply prefer children behaving like little adults in movies. I don't.
