Meet The Santas

Not many Christmas Cheddar films are granted sequels, so in that sense, this followup to Single Santa Seeks Mrs. Claus is somewhat unique, but that's pretty much where any distinction ends. Picking up where the last film left off, the happy couple is now planning their wedding. This is your basic Meet The Parents, Monster-In-Law flick; Crystal Bernard's mother, played by the evidently still working Mariette Hartley, smugly imposes her will on everything, while Mommy and Daddy Claus are on hand to act weird and elicit stares and odd looks. Guttenberg's Kinder Claus shtick is starting to get annoying, as he constantly laughs in an irritating rapid fire, "Hohohohohohohoho!" just so we know he's on his way to saying "Ho ho ho!" but he's not quite there yet. But it's pleasant enough, Armin Shimmerman has more to do this time and he steps up, and there's Christmas decorations everywhere. Nausea factor moderately low (they've already hooked up). Christmas factor moderately high. MSG approved, but thank god there's no #3.
