For those who like that sort of thing (Christmas-I mean), this movie is ultimately satisfying. It has to be one of the best Christmas movies I have ever watched and if you've read my introduction, you would guess I’ve watched many, many. It has a bit of everything in it, love, romance, comedy, mystery, etc. The characters are captured perfectly by the actors who portray them. Vince Vaughn and Paul Giamatti are terrific in this film. The movie set is magnificent. It really is the best interpretation of Santa's village I have ever seen. It's a really good movie for most; I absolutely love it and recommend it as a must see this holiday. Rated: Excellent.
