Looking For A List Of Funny Christmas Movies For This Christmas Season? Read On To Find 5 Titles That You May Want To Consider!

After viewing this film for the purpose of this review, I can understand why so many people love it. The ending is very sweet and brings happy Christmas feelings.

However, I was very disappointed with how vulgar and secular the story was. Of course, I wasn’t expecting a film that was Christ focused, but I was still surprised. There was absolutely no mention of Christ’s birth and the focus was totally on the kid getting what he wanted for Christmas.

Something I really don’t like about Christmastime is when kids start acting like they deserve certain gifts for Christmas. It’s always important to emphasize that it is a time to get ready for Christ’s coming and that they should focus on what they want to give rather than what they want to receive.

That’s the real idea of Santa Claus. It’s about knowing that your good works and sacrifices are seen and rewarded, short term and in the life to come. A Christmas Story instead told a story where Ralphie Parker knows what he wants for Christmas and his Christmas is only complete when he gets it.

Besides that, there was language which wasn’t just subtle cuss words, but actually highlighted and pointed out by the narrator. Also for vulgar amusement was a lamp that looked like a woman’s leg that enamors the masculine characters. Weird!

This movie was actually very badly put together: bad plot, bad storytelling, bad all over. Apart from what I have already mentioned there was also lying resorted to by the children and adults that went unpunished and bratty children who feel like the adults are too stupid to understand their troubles. 

This movie explores an interesting concept: how it is that Santa Claus is still around after centuries. Scott Calvin and his young son, Charlie, are all settled down for a long winter’s nap when out on the lawn there rises such a clatter that Charlie springs from his bed to see what is the matter.

He and Scott go outside to discover that Santa Claus appears to have fallen off their roof. A card in Santa’s coat instructs Scott to carry on the Santa job through the night and he’s off to a whole new career: becoming Santa Claus.

Now for the reasons I didn't like this movie:

Scott and his wife are portrayed as a divorced couple sharing custody over Charlie. In this way, divorce is not only normalized and broken families blanketed as normal, but this is also used to slander Santa Claus.

The legend of Santa is descended from the true story of St. Nicholas of Myra, a bishop of the Catholic Church. Although it may seem a small thing, portraying someone who is supposed to be a Catholic and saintly bishop as a divorced man is wrong. Filmmakers must be careful of making the mistake of taking the celibacy of our clergy lightly.

This is my main objection to the film.

Otherwise, it is notable that there is no mention of Christ being the reason for the season and it does have a few crude parts.
