Save Santa
There are several types of Santa in Christmas movies. But very few, like the one played by Jim Broadbent (Harry Potter and Half Blood Prince) in “Save Santa”. Clumsy, nervous and in urgent need of repairs to his sled in order to return to the most important work of his life, he represents a human approach to the great figure of the dates. It’s also especially fun. The film, directed by Christopher Smith, wonders out loud what would happen if Santa Claus had to resort to human help to complete his mission.
But even more so, how could he survive in a world that does not believe in his existence or his importance on a night of special importance. The film, which moves from comedy to drama with ease, is told in a fantasy tone: dilemmas of faith and the search for hope.
However, the emphasis here is on the need to believe and the possibility of the amazing. By the time Santa rides off on his sleigh, leaving behind a group of confused witnesses, the film has achieved its goal. Restore faith in the possibility of a miracle.

Boyd (Joel McHale) He belongs to a family of misfits who would rather not spend the Christmas holidays in his company.
But he won’t have a choice when his father, Mitch (William), accompanies him on a seemingly endless road trip. In the center road trip and the comedy, this story about love and precious family ties, will not only make you laugh. In fact, it is also a humorous exploration of the reasons that separate – and unite – to its members. Plus all the emotional and mental wounds that this implies.
And, of course, everything happens at Christmas. In the midst of the last-minute decorated tree, discussions and reconciliations take place. Like any good film worthy of attention.

When it comes to happy reunions, that’s what this movie is all about. But it also adds a big question to his argument. What would happen if you met your biological relatives for the first time at Christmas? Moreover: was this your first time meeting any of them?

An adventure that will lead you to understand the darkest and brightest moments of your life. Then what does this experience symbolize for your future. Of course, also at the foot of the family tree.
When Christmas was young
Director Monica Mitchell turns what might seem like a sitcom into a tender vision of redemption. All this happens according to a simple plot, which becomes more complex as the plot develops. Luke (Tyler Hilton) has only had one hit in his entire music career.
And this despite the fact that he was young and still believed in the possibility of world triumph. But now he’s a frustrated adult who doesn’t believe he needs to do anything in the entertainment business. That is until he decides that Christmas might be the perfect time to make his dream come true.
