Covington quickly learns the true meaning of both "Christmas" and "Busy" when he has to deliver goodies to every child on Earth and round up some stray burglars, as well as penciling in a bit of quality time for his children.

The overall theme of the movie is fine and good but the acting and quality of the movie is very poor and there are a lot of "cheesy" scenes. Even my 5 year old and 10 year old thought it was pretty pathetic. My advice is rent something else.
