A sweet story with a rather weak script…
It is a sweet story with a rather weak script. I was a bit worried at the start, as the first 20 minutes or so were not so good; there were some awkward acting and dialogue, I thought. For example, the ‘clean the bathroom’ line at the Santa Squad shop (when they were at the bubblegum dispenser) seemed odd (as opposed to funny, which I think is what the writer was going for there). That said, the movie did improve. Rebecca Dalton (playing Allie) had a decent performance. The scenes with her and the children were the strongest scenes of the film. She did a good job here, giving off a warm and fun vibe to her performance. Aaron Ashmore (playing Gordon) was not bad. I prefer him in Killjoys (he is great in that series) to this. He had some awkward acting at times, especially early on and towards the end of the movie, I thought. The chemistry between the two was not great. However, his scenes (towards the middle) with Allie and the children were warm and fun. He had a good performance in those scenes. The supporting cast was pretty good. Chris Sandiford (playing Tony) had a kind and gentle vibe to his performance, which I liked. The two children, Molly Lewis as Iris and Hattie Kragten as Rose, both had cute performances. Again, for me, it was the scenes with them and Allie or them with Allie and Gordon that were the strongest. The scenery, props, and sets were fine, though I was not a fan of that house. Did anyone notice that the two large snowmen were made of cotton balls? You could see the fibers sticking out. It was strange as the two smaller ones were clearly made of snow. Overall, it is a good enough Lifetime Christmas movie with some fun and cute family scenes.
Predictable Holiday Romance That Needs More Christmas Magic.
Greetings, salutations, and a seasonal welcome to all you movie aficionados. Here are my considerations and recommendation for The Santa Squad.Story: 1.00/2 – Direction and Pace: 2.00/4 – Performances: 1.25/2 – Enjoyment: 1.00/2
Total 5.25/10
There’s one endearing element in The Santa Squad movie and it’s the morality story of family and the love required to form solid relationships. The father, Gordon Church, is a self-made man, and now he’s working hard so his kids will never want for anything. Unfortunately, the after-effects of this all-work lifestyle are that his daughters want their father. And that is the main crux of the movie. Because of a simple storyline, the viewer requires a narrative filled with engaging characters. And though the writers try to deliver them plenty, only two of them hold the attention. The two daughters, Rose and Iris, are superbly written and marvellously portrayed by the young actresses Hattie Kragten and Molly Lewis, respectively. The trouble is the rest of the people in the story lack potency. Though they are credible and well-acted, I had trouble becoming involved, especially in the love-story side of things. They all needed more oomph to them – a bit of Christmas Sparkle. The female lead, Allie, and the Manservant, Daniel, come close, but close isn’t enough. Though the film’s entertaining, I believe it could’ve been better. No sooner had the viewer been introduced to a character than they could determine what role they were to play in the unfolding story. For example, the girlfriend, Kimmie: She’s on screen for a full minute, in which time you glean she’s a gold digger and the villain. I needed more.
I also required more from the direction which travels the road of commonness. Because of its ordinariness, there’s little heart-warming or light-heartedness integrated into the movie’s atmosphere: It’s dull and drab, which is awful for a Christmas movie. Because of its mediocrity, I’d only recommend the film for one watch, and only if pushed. However, the girls make this movie shine in their scenes, and for them alone, it’s worth a look-see.

Take Care, Stay Well, And Best Wishes For A Merry Christmas.
