Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of people who start the Christmas movies early and anyone who likes a world with its own rules. Made to be watched with the tree lit. A good follow-up to A Boy Called Christmas.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Lively and easy to follow, at 1 hr 17 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • Skip it if you want something with an edge.

After a bank robber dressed as Santa Claus holds up a bank, a child disillusioned with Christmas encounters a man in the woods who, also dressed as Santa, claims to have fallen out of his sleigh. The pair strike up a friendship and go on an adventure.
