Plot: In this holiday-themed comedy for the family, Mr. Covington is a man who tries to make time for his family despite the demands of his job. But sometimes Covington's boss prevents him from keeping the promises he makes to his kids, and when he misses spending Christmas with the family, an elf named Randy -- who is easy to spot due to his unusual height (he's six feet tall) -- decides to teach Covington a lesson by turning him into someone else who has to work on Christmas -- Santa Claus. Covington quickly learns the true meaning of both Christmas and Busy when he has to deliver goodies to every child on Earth and round up some stray burglars, as well as penciling in a bit of quality time for his children. Dear Santa stars D.L. Green, Debra Rich, and Harrison Myers. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Well.............It was OK, but the acting was absolutely horrible! The story was a good one, but I feel that the movie was ruined by the acting. I say that they should remake it with Tom Hanks as Mr. Covington, haha!!!

Bad choice
Added 1/4/2003

The acting in this movie is so bad. Granted the story line was just like others, but I like watching Christmas stories. This one is not worth the cost of shipping let alone the real cost of the DVD.

OH MY HOW LOW CAN THEY GO
Added 9/24/2007

I LOVE CHRISTMAS MOVIES....However some are so bad they make Scrooge seem like a pleasant man. And high on that list of must NOT see, is this dreadful piece of dreck! Usually I find something to recommend in any movie....but there is always an exception to every rule. If this were a student film from a film school for filmakers under 6 years of age, then maybe just maybe this would be understandable. But to think that someone over the age of 6 wrote, directed and then cast the film....the mind boggles! OH MY HOW LOW CAN THEY GO....

Too bad 0 stars isn't an option!
Added 7/8/2006

This is the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. Extremely stupid plot, and I couldn't figure out if the actors were trying to spoof other corny (Christmas) movies or if they really were just that bad. What a waste of time and money!

A Great Family Movie!
Added 3/3/2005

This is a must have movie for any family. Mr. Covington has a tough job and a mean boss, but some things in life are more important than work. When he breaks a promise to spend Christmas with his family, Randy, a six foot elf, appears and turns him into Santa Claus. Now Mr. Covington has to learn the true meaning of Christmas as he gets work putting some crooks in jail, making up with his family and, oh yes, delivering presents to children all over the world.

Lump of Coal

One star is being generous. While I am an avid fan of Christmas and tremendously enjoy most things related to Christmas; not even Christmas could make this DVD worthwhile. The acting is subpar and the plot is very predictable. I could not get through the movie in one sitting. The only reason I went back to finish it, was because I was searching for one redeeming quality. At last I found one -- the ending credits.
