Editorial Review:
Children everywhere defend his existence, and one man will stop at nothing to discover the truth. This Christmas Dr. Lloyd Darrow, with the emotional (and financial) support of his wife Barbara, and their children Keith (naughty) and Kylie (nice), will conduct an experiment so ambitious that it could very well capture THE visit from Santa Claus himself! In preparation for the big night, Dr. Darrow and his intern Clarence (self-proclaimed Santologists) gather extraordinary evidence of the jolly gift-giver from the North. Their research takes you from the pyramids of Egypt, to the Town Center Shopping Plaza in Polka City, Ohio, and even to the UFO fields of Roswell, New Mexico. The Darrow's adventure is full of laughs, tender moments, and a Christmas message for Santa skeptics and supporters everywhere: Prepare to Believe!
Stalking Santa Reviews:
I like it! 
2008-01-19 - This is a very funny movie, but the humor was very subtle. The in-your-face jokes are few, and a lot of the humor is in the conversations and in the editing. William Shatner compliments the mockumentary style of the movie perfectly. My 11 year-old nephew is at the age where he is questioning the existence of Santa. He watched this movie and kept asking if the movie was real. I kept saying, "I don't know, is it?" It was fun. I liked this movie and will be showing it around to other people next Christmas.
Disappointed 
2008-01-02 - I could not have been more disappointed in a DVD. I was expecting some sort of a movie like other Christmas movies, but this was one of the most boring wastes of time I have ever seen. I would really like my money back. No stars for this one!!!
Stalking Santa, a waste of time and money
2007-12-07 - I'm a Christmas movie lover, but this movie is the worst excuse of a movie I have ever seen. It's just plan dumb! Poorly filmed and acted. Don't waste your money!
New Christmas Classic
2007-11-21 - I saw the NYC screening a few weeks ago, and damn, this is a funny funny movie. I bought four copies, so that I could send them to my brothers and their families.
I have nothing aginst 'The Christmas Story' or 'Christmas Vacation' or 'Its a Wonderful Life', but it's nice to have a new instant Christmas classic with such a quirky sense of humor and indie-movie sensibilities.
Who'd have guessed that there's actually a big government conspiracy to cover up the existence of Santa Claus? Now we know! Thank god for William Shatner for shedding some light on the situation. LOL
Smart, funny, ultimately uplifting!
2007-11-15 - This film is destined to be a Christmas classic. Mostly improvised, its a wry, funny and ultimately uplifting examination of "Santologist" Dr. Lloyd Darrow and his quest to prove the existence of Santa Claus. The real jewell of the film, though, is the interview footage of real children talking about their beliefs about Christmas and Santa. Shatner's narration is hilarious, and overall the film is just so satisfying. This would make a great, smart gift for someone who loves "The Office", "This Is Spinal Tap", "Waiting for Guffman", "Best in Show" and other parodies. A great film!
