Mein Weihnachtswunsch (1991)

Mein Weihnachtswunsch: Directed by Robert Lieberman. With Harley Jane Kozak, Jamey Sheridan, Ethan Embry, Kevin Nealon. A brother and sister attempt to bring their divorced parents back together for Christmas.

“Leslie Nielsen took a break from his usual latter day lowbrow comedy to portray a department store Santa Claus who just might be the real thing in this 1991 Paramount release. Shades of u0026quot;Miracle On 34th Street.u0026quot; The story here is not exactly feel good material since it has to do with a couple who are planning to separate and then divorce so close to the Christmas holiday. This really upsets their kids (Thora Birch and Ethan Embry) so they decide to ask the aforementioned Santa to help them in their efforts to bring their parents back together in time for the holidays. Almost everything in the film is overacted and used to a rather poor effect. All I want for Christmas is to know that Iu0026#39;ll never have to see this one again.”
