Ethan (Ethan Randall who would grow up to be Ethan Embry) and Hallie O'Fallon (Thora Birch) want their parents Catherine (Harley Jane Kozak) and Michael (Jamey Sheridan) to get back together. Ethan has a plan, Hallie has Santa Claus (Leslie Nielsen). To keep mom from marrying Tony Boer (Kevin Nealon), it will take mice, an ice cream truck and help from Stephanie (Amy Oberer).
With appearances by Lauren Bacall and Andrea Martin, this was directed by Robert Lieberman (Fire In the Sky) and written by Thom Eberhardt (Sole Survivor, Night of the Comet and the original director for this movie) and Richard Kramer, who has mostly worked in TV.
This feels like The Parent Trap. Maybe the parents aren't right for each other, you know?
Roger Ebert really disliked this movie, saying "All I want for Christmas is to never see All I Want for Christmas again. Here is a calculating holiday fable that is phony to its very bones - artificial, contrived, illogical, manipulative and stupid. It's one of those movies that insults your intelligence by assuming you have no memory, no common sense and no knowledge of how people behave when they are not in the grip of an idiotic screenplay."
Leslie Neilsen was Santa in more movies than I knew. In addition to this movie, he was Santa in Chilly Beach and Santa Who?
