Ignorant Movie Review:  Santa Smokes

Response to title:  I about shot coffee out of my nose when I saw this title.  Maybe “Smokes” is the name of a gentleman department store Santa?  The title puts me in the mood for a black comedy.

Response to curbside poster:  What the hell?  This looks like a…romance?

Response post-credits:  The only thing this movie has going for it, in my mind, is that it taps into the collective unconscious disgust for Christmas as consumer orgy; however, while I often find low budget lighting, sound and cinematography endearing, I don’t in this case.  The “film” follows the exploits of an aspiring actor in New York during the Holiday season as he desperately searches for means to a monetary end.  I do not ever want to see this movie again.                   

Rating: 0.0025 out of 5 Oly Stubbies.

At the very least it'd make for an excellent Critical Mass costume.
