Very Cool Christmas (2004 TV Movie) User Reviews

Christmas with the family, eww!

[lastliberal · 5/10 · 4 December 2007]

Oh, Santa, you are just so out of date. I mean that suit is so last century, and a beard, Eww! You just have to quit stuffing those cookies and milk in your stomach.

Brooke Nevin (I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer) is a superficial teen who wants to go skiing on Christmas and makes a deal with Santa. She'll make him over and help him deliver presents, and he'll help her with her problem.

She makes Santa over into George Hamilton and they work on each other until the predictable ending.

The only thing that was really bad about this movie was the mall security guard. He was a real nut case.

Who knew that Mrs Claus was so hot. Donna Mills from "Knots Landing" played Santa's missus.

A Very Clueless Christmas

[JaynaB · 5/10 · 4 December 2011]

Lip gloss is so last century.

They couldn't get Alicia Silverstone. Brooke channeled as well as she could but her performance never came alive.

Of course the trite premise and silly script didn't give her anything to work with.

And George Harrison as Santa? Puh-leeze.

Purely predictable seasonal tripe here, although the increasingly insane mall security guard had a couple of entertaining rants.

Still, if it's this movie or a zillionth rerun of 'It's a Wonderful Life', give yourself a change of pace. Just prepare your eyeballs for a pastel overload.

Only for the cheese of George Hamilton, this would be a 1 star

Just enough cheese from George Hamilton to make it watchable. Becomes cringy pretty quick though and by the end it is a hard aul slog.

Cheese: George Hamilton excretes the cheese.

So bad

Chances are if you are reading this review, you are one of the unfortunate souls who scoured the delete bin at your local dollar store and somehow thought buying it was a good deal, or perhaps you received this Christmas schlock as some sort of joke gift. Regardless of how you stumbled on this turd, it is only natural that you are feeling cheated out of 89 minutes of your life. This is the sort of movie they should show to political prisoners and only the most loathsome death row inmates. I literally had to shower after watching. If you are considering buying this movie, or even viewing it, be prepared to be crushingly disappointed .

Idiotic. Not entertaining. Nothing redeeming or intriguing.

[JBThackery · 1/10 · 9 December 2021]

Silly and shallow from the start. Everyone acts like imbiciles. Big cast names like George Hamilton and Donna Mills can't save it. About half way through, the main two ninny girls are still whining about how they want to avoid a traditional Christmas, with nothing accomplished. This film will not entertain; find a better way to spend your evening.

An adorable, family, feel good movie.

I was actually surprised when I watched this as I had put it off for several weeks. It is definitely one of my top Christmas movies of all time and is definitely worth a buy. At the very least, its worth a watch.

The whole thing has been done before both in movies, TV shows and various other outlets for entertainment but there are quite a few things that make this a unique, "the real meaning of Christmas" movie. I absolutely loved the characters; from the stereotypical first-born blonde upper class teenager to the aged Santa (George is definitely on my Christmas List of Best Santas, both in and out of "the Beard") to the her parents. I spent most of my time grinning while watching this movie and would readily watch it again and again.

If you're looking for a movie to make you grin, while it may not be hilarious, it is definitely humorous. Oh, and don't forget the security guard! Probably the strangest character I've yet to watch. And I tend to pick weird movies.

I'll say it again, definitely worth a watch!

PUT THE CHICKEN STICK DOWNNNNNNNN!!!!!!

[nikkebaby · 6/10 · 9 May 2021]

I was expecting it to be bad but its not great but I will watch around the season again.

a rejuvenating a new image for a 21st century Santa

[lark40 · 7/10 · 12 February 2016]

every ones favorite holiday is getting a make over 21st century style 16yr old Lindsay played by Brooke Nevin who plays her character very well as a spoiled child she thinks she is too cool for her Xmas and Santa's a loser until she meets the real deal then the Santa at the mall makes a quiet shocking revelation he real and he has lost his mojo with his wife Mrs Claus and his marriage over the century is on the brink so he ask for a make over and finds the perfect girl so style conscious Lindsay is been whisked all over the place for night trip of a lifetime and teaching is the true meaning of cool and Xmas while her parents are dealing with a stuck up mall cop that banned her and Santa for life this Xmas film is a lovely family movie at 1hr 32mins IMDb rating is poor at 3.5 I gave it 7 as this film is too underrated

I Liked It

[Dog-River · 7/10 · 30 April 2021]

They made two different versions of this movie. I don't know why, but they did. It's the same story but the only difference (that I could tell) was that in one version she had a mother/father and the other version she had two dads. I caught them both on television in separate years. I preferred the version with two dads. I don't know why, maybe because I saw it first. But either way, I actually enjoyed watching this film. It's not Oscar worthy, but It's an easy watch around the holidays.
