SAVING CHRISTMAS

Cinemavixion Review

In the charmingly festive "Saving Christmas" (2017), director Tom DeNucci delivers a heartwarming holiday tale centered on young Danny (Jack Brunault), an 11-year-old grappling with the skepticism of his peers regarding Santa Claus. Bolstered by his sister Jennifer (Lindsay Blanchard), Danny, a budding computer whiz, embarks on an ambitious mission with his friends: to scientifically prove Santa's existence. This technological quest unfolds against the backdrop of his mother Elizabeth's (Brooke Langton) diligent efforts to provide a joyous Christmas, a task made more challenging by the recent loss of her husband. The narrative gains a touch of romantic intrigue with the introduction of toy company executive Sammy (Patrick Muldoon), who takes an interest in Elizabeth, and a surprising connection to the enigmatic Rick (Ed Asner). "Saving Christmas" blends youthful wonder with the spirit of perseverance, as modern ingenuity is put to the test to unravel one of the season's most enduring mysteries. While the film may not boast major accolades, its earnest portrayal of family, belief, and the magic of Christmas offers a sweet and engaging viewing experience, particularly for younger audiences ready to believe.
