With Brian Stokes Mitchell and Victor Garber also trying a little too hard. Go to Full Review Andrea Beach Common Sense Media 07/08/2014

Michael C 11/11/2023 Another one of my favorite holiday movies ever!!! Whoopi Goldberg is so ICONIC in this film!!! See more 12/17/2017 This is probably a made for TV film, and is best suited for kids. Whoopi Goldberg is good and there's lots of fun to be had. But it's not great. See more 12/23/2014 'Call Me Claus' has it's tender, funny and clever moments, but the only major negative is that the story is a rip-off of 'Ernest Saves Christmas' where Santa Claus has to find a new Santa to replace him See more 12/16/2013 It could have been done better, but it still brought a perfect combination of drama and well written comedy. See more 12/15/2013 Just awful. Can see why this was a TV movie. See more 01/04/2013 I liked this movie.I really liked it.It was full of Christmas spirit.A great message.Great cast.Great plot!
