Santa Claus is garbage

(1982)

Before becoming the Christmas classic that everyone knows,

Santa Claus

is a scumbag

was a play created by the Splendid troupe.

In 1982, the play was adapted for the cinema.

In this comedy by Jean-Marie Poiré, Pierre Mortez (Thierry Lhermitte) and Thérèse (Anemone) ensure the permanence of "SOS Détresse - Amitié".

Throughout the evening, they are visited by Mr. Preskovitch, Katia, Josette and then finally by Félix, characters as eccentric as each other who will come to disturb the permanence of the two volunteers.

Love Actually

(2003)

Directed by Richard Curtis in 2003, the film

Love Actually

begins five weeks before Christmas and presents itself as a countdown to the holiday season.

Through ten distinct stories, this British romantic comedy looks at the different forms that love can take.

Each story presents a wide range of characters who, at first glance, have no particular connection.

Over the course of the film, these lives and these loves will intersect, embrace and even become entangled.

Love Actually

is a romantic comedy that evokes the different aspects of love.

Canal Studio

Super Christmas (1994)

Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) has a complicated relationship with Charlie, his son, whom he only sees occasionally.

On Christmas Eve, Scott witnesses an accident involving Santa Claus.

"If anything happens to me, put on my costume, the reindeer will know what to do"

can be read on a small cardboard paper.

Dubious at first, Scott ends up getting into the sleigh and flying off to deliver the presents alongside his son.

What he doesn't know is that by donning the red and white costume, he entered the Santa Claus framework and officially became... Santa Claus.

Toy Race (1996)

This year, for Christmas, Jamie (Jake Lloyd) wants a Turbo Man, like all little Americans.

And his father, Howard Langston (Arnold Schwarzenegger), promised him that.

But this overworked businessman forgot.

It's only a few hours before the gifts are given that he remembers his promise.

Howard then embarks on a race against time to obtain the robot in question which, of course, is no longer available in any store.

To get his hands on this toy, Jamie's father will find himself in totally improbable and delusional situations.

A simple but effective comedy.

In

The Toy Race

, Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Scott and Jake Lloyd plays little Jamie.

20th Century Fox

Hello Mom, It's Christmas (1993)

This family comedy directed by Tom Repelewski is the sequel to two other films:

Hello Mom, Here Baby

(1989) and

Hello Mom, It's Me Again

(1990).

They tell the story of the Ubriacco family.

Like many children, Mikey and Julie want a dog.

After insisting with their parents for a while, their mother, Molly, agrees to adopt Rocks, a stray dog.

But during this time, James, the father of the two children, finds himself having to take care of Daphne, the refined poodle of his new boss.

The two dogs, who are opposites, begin to observe the little family and comment on everything that happens in the Ubriacco house.
