You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Because Daddy
Has just worked
A 14 hour day
And now has to drive
300 miles of Christmas traffic
To spend another bloody Christmas
At Grandma Browns
House of doom
So he is not in the mood
For any of your shit
Oh Santa Claus the bells the bells are calling
From town to town, where goodwill doth abide
The summers gone, the autumn leaves have fallen
We’re near, we’re near another Christmas tide
So come ye back to us on Christmas Evening
When all the land is hushed and white with snow
And we will leave your milk and cookies
Oh Santa Claus, you know we love you so
Blake (Hulk Hogan) is a self-absorbed egocentric uncaring multi-millionaire who lives in his mansion with his lackies who tries to fill his time with self-defence routines and crazy reckless road stunts.
On one such outing he is pursued on foot into a
mall and disguises himself as Santa Claus, then while hiding in a rubbish chute
he falls and bangs his head and when he wakes up he is found by a fiendish elf,
Lennie (Don Stark) who convinces him that he is in fact.....Santa Claus.
In his new guise he goes to the aid of an
orphanage, run by Leslie (Robin Curtis), which is under pressure to sell to an
unscrupulous tyrant Ebner Frost (Ed Begley Jr).
She would sing for her supper
And wail for her wassail
To get her turkey dinner
And a pint of Christmas ale
Are you wearing red velvet?
That’s really nice to see
And so, fitting for the season
It makes me feel so Christmassy
Michael (Robert Krantz) is a workaholic by choice and has spent his entire life putting in the hours and has
had to sacrifice a lot of family time in order to provide for that family.
However,
after hearing a rumour that he's getting a long-overdue promotion, Michael
invites his whole family over to celebrate, including his Uncle Telly (also
played by Robert Krantz), but when the promotion falls through, Michael
must spend a long night with 14 Greeks around his dinner table, and while he
deals with the most important people in his life, he faces the prospect of
failing to make the transition from workaholic back into the loving husband and
father he once was.
This is a very
enjoyable film with great warmth and humour.
