Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter 12/08/2017
A clever holiday comedy that just about nails the right mixture of offbeat humor and Yuletide cheer. Go to Full Review

1/5
It's soon very clear that [director Alain] Chabat is more interested in traveling paths that he knows perfectly well... The problem is that the viewer also knows them by heart. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

Gary K Dec 31 This is a delightful holiday family movie, with just a hint of adult humour. There are wonderful special effects, and the entire production is vivid and bright, and a definite pleasure to watch. Santa babysitting his charges during the parent's date night, is laugh-out-loud hilarious! The cast was adorable, giving a unique spin to the film, and spending Christmas in Paris and the dazzling North Pole, has never been more imaginative and joyous. So much fun!! See more William Kramer R 12/03/2024 A lovely film worth watching with the kids in the holiday season. Funny, whitty, and Alain gets the balance right with comedy, bringing old with new. The co-writer is Patricia Richer-Clermont who’s been a shadow writer in French film / Hollywood for many years. I am looking very forward to her next movie an Original screenplay Trilogy Epic, which I hear is in pre-production can’t wait !! See more 11/15/2020 A wonderful Christmas movie! Very entertaining & fun to watch! See more Adel Z 12/17/2019 English will follow... Je viens de découvrir Santa & Cie et j'ai été agréablement surpris. L'histoire est originale et intéressante, avec quelques blagues bien placées. Le jeu des acteurs est bon. Et on est impressionnés par les effets spéciaux qui ont l'air réels contrairement à la plupart des films de nos jours qui, se basant sur du CGI, créent des mondes qui ont l'air plutôt de jeux video que de films du septième art. Alain Chabat a bien réussi son coup avec ce film joyeux que je reverrais bien Noël prochain. ... English: I just discovered this little french movie and I was pleasantly surprised. The story is original and interesting, with a few well-placed jokes. The acting is good. And the special effects are surprisingly impressive unlike most of today's movies that, based on CGI, create worlds that look more like video games than seventh art. Alain Chabat did well with this joyful movie that I would gladly watch again next Christmas. See more 12/22/2017 Santa goes to Paris to get vitaminum C in order to return to health elfes... Christmas borefest and bag of bad jokes. See more camille l 12/11/2017 Après un prologue d'une laideur ahurissante, on pourrait penser que Santa & Cie démarre enfin quand le film atteint Paris. Alain Chabat y déploie son potentiel comique personnel à 100% sur quelques scènes, ce sens du dialogue qui manque terriblement au début du film. Malheureusement, après 20 minutes, Chabat se transforme en papy gâteau et donne la part belle à deux enfants absolument insupportables qui gâchent toutes leurs scènes. On ne s'amuse pas beaucoup et c'est bien dommage, car on sent un soin apporté à la réalisation mais c'est l'écriture qui pêche. Golshifteh Farahani est formidable, Audrey Tautou fatigante.
