We enjoyed watching this comedy with my 2 daughters (12 and 10). It's very funny to see how Santa copes with modern world, and, of course, how people react when confronted to him. It's not Alain Chabat's best movie (Asterix et Obelix : mission Cleopatre or La Cité de la Peur are better),but it's really worth being bought or rented on SVOD paltforms.

Yes Santa is real. Come on what did you think? Ok so he is out of touch and quite inconsistent it what he knows about the world we humans live in (he's not from this world you know),but can you blame him? He only has a whole year doing nothing to inform himself ... ah I think I'm making the opposite case of what I meant to make ... maybe we should start from the top.

All kidding aside, this French movie is good fun to say the least. It is quite out there and quite insane. You have to suspend your disbelief ... and then some. But it is fun and it light entertainment. It is in the right spirit and it really is joyful overall ... with some bumps along the road. This may be one of the best Santas (or performance thereof) .. at least imho! And no offense to Billy Bob Thornton ... though technically he wasn't "real" so he's in a different category anyway

Santa & Cie is the new film from Alain Chabat. He comes back with light jokes, funny, and adapted for the family, including kids. The story is interesting, full of situations where you say « Oh non, c'est Pas possible! »! Santa & Cie is a family comedy to watch with a cup of hot chocolate, cookies and a blanket.
