After crashing his sleigh, Santa Claus (Jim Broadbent) asks a father (Rafe Spall) and son (Kit Connor) for help to round up his reindeer and return home.

Critics Consensus

With a bombastic performance from Jim Broadbent, Get Santa brilliantly captures the joys of the Christmas holiday.

2/5

With farting reindeer and frugal budgets, Christopher Smith, the man behind Triangle and Severance, has forged something almost as terrifying.

3/5

There are enough welcome details in the margins to keep viewers from fidgeting: a likeable if unevenly paced story, some inventive Lapland-related steampunk, and character actors one would happily crawl over jagged holly to see.

[A]s they say in merry old England, a curate's egg, good in parts. Some parts - the solid cast, a few well-turned one-liners - are really quite good indeed, although viewers have to wade through a moderate fug of reindeer fart jokes to get to them.

7.3/10

A starry cast and family-friendly humour make this British comedy an enjoyable - and sometimes unique - yuletide offering.

There's a great performance from Jim Broadbent as a bumbling but wise Santa and the fun cast play it for laughs and warm, mushy moments.

3/5

As with any Christmas film, it's more about the mood it conjures than how good the film is objectively. With that in mind, this is a comedy that's less about warm festive fuzziness than playing up its "crime caper for kids" conceit.

Get Santa is a mess. However, despite some questionable character decisions (GO SEE YOUR PAROLE OFFICER!) and the fantasy elements being a bit boring, it's a sincere and often really fun mess. Funny, bright, well-directed and comfortably familiar, it fits in nicely with fantasy-meets-reality family Christmas films like Elf and Santa Clause. Nothing transcendent, but certainly a worthy addition to the holiday canon.

Even though Get Santa isn't the best family-friendly Christmas comedy out there, Jim Broadbent shines brightly in the titular role and the film remains funny enough to serve as an entertaining movie that offers another fine taste of British comedy.
