Meet the Santas

Dir: Harvey Frost

2005

Serial bad-Christmas film maker Harvey Frost returned in 2005 with the sequel to one of his worst. 2004's Single Santa seeks Mrs Claus is a dreadful film, why anyone thought it deserved a sequel is anyone's guess. The first film was about Santa's son and heir to the title, Nick (played by Steve Guttenberg) needed to find a wife in order to become Santa, which raises a few dubious questions on what marriage actually represents to the Hallmark channel. He finds his Mrs Santa, job done. In the sequel, we find out that they've all been far too busy to get married, their heavy schedule all being down to the fact that Nick is working alone, without a Mrs Santa to help him out. This is a stupid scenario. The film is basically a poorly written copy of Meet the Fockers which came out the year before. In-laws meet In-law, everything is Christmas themed, stereotypes follow cliché, follow headache. I swear, if I ever hear Steve Guttenberg blast ho-ho-ho one more time I will scream.
