Santa gives an angry man his powers in this Hallmark film that seems to be channeling the film "Bruce Almighty" but fails to deliver anything in this boring Hallmark Christmas film .

In this film as the Christmas season approaches, Dan Ryebeck (Ethan Erickson) is facing unemployment, and struggling to pay for the gifts he thinks will impress his two kids, Sally (Annie Thurman) and Joe (Griffin Cleveland). Always chasing a new business idea, Dan hasn't had time for family, including his wife Linda (Anne Dudek), who is finally fed up and filing divorce papers. Threatened by Linda's handsome and successful young boss, Trevor (Steve Valentine), Dan knows he must make this Christmas the best one yet to win his family back. But after auditioning for a mall Santa job and quickly losing his cool, Dan is frustrated and broke, blaming the holidays for his troubles. Little does he know his luck is about to turn around when the real Kris Kringle (Donovan Scott) pays him a visit from the North Pole.

Hallmark has many great films for people to watch during the holidays. When this one pops up change the channel.

A decent idea, far to be original. Reasonable performances. And, unfortunately, a not the most coherent story. The good point - Sean Astin and his effort for a seductive helper of Santa. The bad thing - the formal performances, lost in a story who must give too much from care for family to save the Christmas. Sure, nice intentions. But not more than intentions because the poor Ethan Erickson has the wrong role and Anne Dudek seems blank in her performance. But , it is a Christmas Hallmark film. Not so bad, in fact.
