Sadly Over-hyped
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Santa Hunters is the story of a boy who gets given a pipe that allegedly belonged to Santa and can't convince people the fat jolly man with the white beard is real. So he and his cousins and nieces go off to try and prove it.The film starts off looking like it wants to be The Blair Witch Project with plenty of speeches to camera, then later suddenly decides it wants to be Spy Kids (with all the technological gadgets) meets Home Alone (when they glue the windows shut and set up various traps) meets Paranormal Activity (locked off cameras everywhere including for some reason in the fish tank). Every little knock, every little vibration sets off the lead kid to investigate them. They do get their hands on some "proof" but can they use it? As you'd probably expect for the film's target audience there are poo and fart jokes (including an extended scene in the bathroom that combines these two) and some OTT acting which seems to be compulsory for these sorts of films.If the kids still believe in Santa, they'll be happy. If they don't, well they might get a kick out of Santa falling out the tree-house. Beyond that it's an obvious cheap and cheerful Christmas flick that won't be a classic by any stretch of the imagination but the film isn't particularly bad but not particularly good either.
