The Night Before Christmas was great
4 December 2011
Another Hallmark Christmas movie with plenty of the right elements but somewhat uninspired.

Santa crashes and loses his memory. He takes up residence at a disjointed, not really in the spirit of Christmas, family led by the ever watchable Jennifer Beals. His chief elf(not from 'Elf'), nicely played by Jordan Prentice, works with the family to try to help Santa get it together in time for you know what.

The family is too tied up in their work and own affairs to appreciate the meaning of the season and each other.

It's clean and well meaning but not super funny or novel. I'd say enjoy it for what it is. Merry Christmas!

Fun action believable, some sad family scene, but it ended with everyone finding themselves and the meaning of Christmas. well worth watching. Wow, haven't seen Jennifer Beals in a while - she looks great! Looks like a fun new Christmas movie!
