Since I work from home, I frequently watch these Christmas movies when my husband is at work. For Catch Me If You Claus, he happened to be home. He dislikes the title. Mostly because they kept saying “Santa Crook” throughout the movie. If only Christmas movie titles worked that way.

Avery Quinn (Italia Ricci) is an aspiring news anchor. The night before her big break, she is awoken by Chris (Luke Macfarlane), the son of Santa Claus on his first Christmas mission. She thinks he is the Santa Crook, a local burglar breaking into houses in the area. The two spend the night unraveling the real story of the Santa Crook.

Catch Me If You Claus was a pretty cute movie. There were a lot of Santa references and they meet a lot of wacky locals. And there was a bit of a backstory of both Avery and Chris having to overcome their famous parents. Claus wasn’t quite as good as Dashing Through The Snow but it is difficult to beat the giant that is Disney. Thankfully, it is still watchable.
