Live-action version of the holiday favorite, boasting a fine comedic cast led by John Goodman as the not-so-jolly Saint Nick and Delta Burke playing Mrs. Claus, but despite talented performers, it just doesn't measure up to the original. This is not to say this adaptation doesn't amuse; it does, particularly when the Miser Brothers---hotheaded Heat (Harvey Fierstein) and coldhearted Snow (Michael McKean)---appear. Chris Kattan, Ethan Suplee, Eddie Griffin, Carol Kane. Ron Underwood directed.
