The Real St. Nick (2012 TV Movie)
1/10
Not worth watching
27 December 2012
Warning: Spoilers
This movie started out somewhat entertaining but it went downhill fast! A man thinks he is Santa Claus and is admitted to a mental hospital. The hospital administrator is portrayed as the "bad guy". The patients act like unruly children which is an unfortunate and inaccurate portrayal of mental illness. The main character is a traumatized man who would benefit from real mental health services, not from falling in love with his psychiatrist, At the end there is an incredibly disturbing scene in which the police cruelly and unnecessarily use their tasers. I think that this is meant to be funny, but it is just disturbing. This scene alone makes the movie unfit for children! The ending is a letdown - a waste of 2 hours!!
