Watch I Believe in Santa Claus For Free

Load of rubbish!!

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

I remember this movie from my childhood. Having been born in the early 80s, for some reason I remember watching TV during the holidays circa 1988 when this movie came on. I remembered two kids in the woods and an Ogre. That's it. However, it left some sort of impression on me...for the life of me I don't know why. It took me 23 years to track this movie down (based on extensive internet research...i.e. googling) and the payoff was huge. I bought the DVD in 2011 and it's become an instant hit with my friends and I. We watch it every Christmas season, each year getting more people to view it. And here's why it's such a hit...it's so deliciously bad in every way imaginable. The script is bad, the actors/actresses are bad, the "visual effects" are bad...everything is bad. It's so awful that is great. Honestly speaking, if you have a sense of humor and 90 minutes to kill, please buy this movie and watch it once a year during the holiday season. The songs will get stuck in your head for days. Certain scenes will stick with you indefinitely. The plot is so incredibly absurd...a young french lad has 2 parents that have been taken hostage in Africa (where in Africa, you ask? Just Africa, of course), so he asks Santa for them back in time for Christmas. Being bullied by his fellow classmates, and being abused by the school janitor (unbeknownst to his negligent school teacher), he gets on a plane with a female classmate (no questions asked due to pre 911 air travel) to visit Santa in person so that his wish might come true. Hilarity ensues. Fairies, elves, reindeer, an Ogre, crocodiles, monkeys, African warlords all make an appearance. Fantastic. My 10/10 rating is not sarcasm. It's genuine. Please, take the time to watch this film. If you go into it in the correct frame of mind, it will leave your sides hurting from laughter. Combine with eggnog or other "Christmas cheer." And lastly, "Stop all your crying business."

This movie is beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt, the most ridiculous movie ever made. HOWEVER, it is entirely impossible to watch this movie and NOT be entertained. My brother and I have watched this movie every Christmas since we were 3 and 4. We laugh, we cry, we sing along... Not really. Actually, we DO laugh.. a lot. When the fairy takes the children to the "workshop" and the elves sing a little song, listen to the words... you'll understand why. Also, classic scenes like Santa arguing with a monkey.. and Santa swimming with a crocodile are spellbinding. Watch for the scene where Santa literally throws the dog across the room in order to wake the children... When the maintenance man throws putty at Simon's face, the look in the child's eyes is priceless! When you watch this movie, make sure you "Stop All Your Crying Business", what for, you say? You'll find out!! ;)

As someone who lives in America, I saw the English dubbed version of this film released by Starmaker Video. I don't know if anything was lost in the translation or if this is just an odd film. My guess is the latter.The plot revolves around a sweet little boy named Simon whose parents have somehow become political prisoners in Africa. Simon's class in school writes letters to Santa and he tells the jolly ol' man that he doesn't want toys for Christmas. He only wants his parents back.Soon afterwards, the class takes a trip to the airport. Interestingly enough, Simon and a little girl named Elodie end up separated from their classmates and are placed on a plane. The plane supposedly takes them to the same part of the world where Santa lives (although it's not the South Pole). The two little kids wander around in the snow and into a forest in search of Santa.This peculiar film includes more than just Santa Claus though. It also boasts an ogre, a fairy, a tribe of African rebels and several headache-inducing songs sung at the most inappropriate of times. I will probably remember "Here Comes Santa Claus" for quite some time. However, don't consider that a recommendation for you to go out and find a copy of this rare flick. 2/10

That's C. Gion's best film and it is definitively not a good film! Gion is infamous for his bad comedies from the eighties to the beginning of the 90s. He shot "J'ai rencontré le père Noel" in 1984. This Christmas tale stands out in his filmography. It's a movie for children, a film deprived of rude words and saucy situations. There's a change! The problem is that the indigent screenplay doesn't work and Gion is as bad as usual. Nothing works and everything looks so naive, too childish and fake. Surprinsingly only karen Cheryl, at the time a famous anchorwoman and former singer, manages to catch our attention. She's not that bad at all.
