      Anna F Everything you want I a good Christmas movie and also whoopie is the best Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member '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 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member It could have been done better, but it still brought a perfect combination of drama and well written comedy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Just awful. Can see why this was a TV movie.
