Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Christmas-Reviewer I grew up in the Los Angeles area. In the Los Angeles Southern California area we never get snow. In fact we hardly get rain. In Southern California it is not uncommon to spend Christmas Day in shorts. As a kid in California you always wish for Snow especially at Christmas. As you know all Christmas films seem to always take place in the snow or there is Snow somewhere in almost every outdoor shot. Christmas Cartoons always take place in the snow and when your growing up in California you feel left out. You want to build a snowman at Christmas time. However you will most likely build a sandcastle. That is why I liked this film! It was having a childhood wish come true! That is why I enjoyed this film. In this film Two teen girls, find a weather machine at a shack in the woods. After learning of its controls, they use it to make it snow in Los Angeles. It is every kids dream come true but it has its consequences. It turns out that the weather machine belongs to Santa Claus (John B. Lowe) and he informs Mrs. Claus about this. To help Santa Claus, she sends two elves, Crumpet (John Salley) and Sparky (Bill Fagerbakke).The film has plot wholes but you can watch this with your family and most kids will not be bored! It is worth watching.

husnain ali This movie is about 2 girls who find a weather machine that is Santa Clauses that can change the weather. The girls change the weather into a snow storm to get more of the Christmas spirit. Brenda Song was great but not as great as she is in The suite life of Zack and Cody. Spencer Breslin was better in this movie than he was in The cat in the hat. Halee Hirsh was good as the main character. John B. Lowe was good as Santa Claus because he really looked like a real Santa Claus and Susan Ruttan was okay at playing Santa Clauses wife. This was not an all that film but it was okay. John Salley and Hallie Todd were good as playing their parts and the I give the acting a top 7/10.

movies2u The Ultimate Christmas Present (2000) TV MovieThis movie was pretty entertianing and enjoyable. It's not a perfect movie, but it's good enough to get you into the Christmas spirit. It's about two girls who find a machine that belongs to Santa Claus, and it controls the weather. The girls take it, and reveal it can make rain, sun, wind, tornados, even snow, which is perfect because she has a paper due the last day before Xmas vacation. So, they try out the machine, and the next thing they no it's snowing- in Los Angeles! Now, the snow storm has stopped her Dad from getting home for Christmas, and the holiday spirit begins to crumble unless she can stop the machine with the help of Santa and his two elves.This movie has plenty of fun and can be enjoyed by your whole family. Get some cookies and egg nog while watching this, and you should get into the Christmas spirit. 7/10.

calendarnow I first saw this movie the year it was first released, 2000. It has shown every year since, especially around the holidays and I think it is becoming a great little holiday classic. Good, clean, fun family movie. Hallee Hirsh is adorable as the lead and looks so cute as her younger self.
