But it totally worked for me. Mel Gibson as Santa. Just take a second to think about that and ask yourself, would you sit on his knee? Now go watch the movie, because if you might just change your mind.

Fatman Review Conclusion
I think this one might go on the list every year: just different enough to keep me interested and I loved the interactions between the characters. Everyone had their own agenda and morals and all of them clashed in one way or another. Still, probably better to figure out what you did that was naughty for Santa to give you coal in your stocking than send out a hitman. But my favourite character, next to Ruth and her cookies, of course, was Elf 7. Bit of a crafty character, I thought, and always with a comeback. Loyal too. I really enjoyed it, the questionable kid, the grandma, the locals. And amazing scenery. Definitely one to watch if you haven’t already.
