... or, the American, college-boy, Christmas version of Staggered (okay, that was Forces of Nature ... but the image of JTT in the Santa suit in the desert after being hazed definitely called to mind Martin Clunes in that movie)

Well, I was right about one thing, this is marginally more fun, not to mention slicker, than the TV movie of the same name that aired the preceding year. But we’re definitely in take-it-or-leave-it territory here, though that certainly makes Jessica Biel at least feel at home. The Santa run is a pretty unique, not to mention hilarious, sight. And I liked how the movie is less about Jonathan Taylor Thomas’ character learning anything in particular than about us and the people around him learning about how basically good a guy he is, that he just hasn’t been given an opportunity to show it. It really shouldn’t work; but again, I guess it’s the season, and I really can’t speak ill of it.
