Charming and easy going watching - but for the biggest trial in history it looked rather more part time volunteer circuit judge in the backwoods somewhere.

Nice enough Hallmark Christmas movie without any of the usual poor edits or "just something off" or "all you need is faith in a small town" stuff. Good acting from everyone including the girl. Would have liked more of the uncertainty from the other versions about whether it's the real Santa. Silly ending. Fav scene: the emotions of Dean Cain telling Santa he's dropping him as a client but he doesn't have to leave, followed by his talk with the female lead.
