People are voting emotionally.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

After getting fired from his job, a fast-talking businessman is thrown into an elf competition to become Santa¹s next second-in-command. Put through a series of rigorous training exercises to prepare for the contest, he must face another aspiring elf in the hopes of becoming Santa¹s Little Helper. Santa's Little Helper might perhaps be one of the worst Christmas movies i have ever seen in my entire life. I mean it makes Jingle All The Way 2 look like The Godfather in front of the cheesy, over the top and just quite stupid movie that WWE chose to make. (F)

Dax the Ax (Mike "the Miz") has just foreclosed on the Hope Springs Youth Center in Santa Monica...perhaps a pun intended. In an act of irony, Dax the Ax gets the ax at work and must leave his house in an unrealistic time frame. In a subplot, Santa's Little Helper retires and he must fill the position. He wants to give the job to Dax the Ax, a "normie" (muggle already taken) who he believes has the qualities to do the job...deep down. He tasks Billy (AnnaLynne McCord) a round eared mutant elf to test his qualities for the position. Meanwhile Eleanor (Saraya-Jade Bevis/ Paige) believes she deserves the job because her father had the job. She is portrayed as being a mean person complete with a British accent. Her role is minimal.If you have ever seen a film before, you have a good idea how this ends up. The path is slightly less predictable. The film is for kids. There is a bar room fight, although no one really gets hurt, but fists and objects fly. Certainly not worse than a Three Stooges episode. There is the use of the word "freakin'" as a substitute for a cuss word. Otherwise very kid friendly. AnnaLynne McCord provides eye candy for dad, and The Miz takes off his shirt for mom.Not a bad film. Don't expect it to be an annual iconic classic.

Wwe have actually done well with this festival film because your kids will enjoy it and lets face it the main ingredient to a Christmas film is that your kids are distracted by watching a film and not running around screaming. The miz (wwe superstar) is a evil salesman until he gets fired then loses his flash car and home and it down on his luck until santa gives him a chance to change. Ex wwe divas champion paige makes her film debut and does really well playing a bad elf, this is a enjoyable and very easy to follow story that has all the ingredients to make a Christmas film for the family and with a run time of 90 minutes its more than enough to satisfy. A light hearted Comedy with a nice story and a great message to kids....santas little helper is one to add to your Christmas letter to santa.

Again, the WWE thinks they can write movies, and they think their wrestlers can act. Wrong! This story is a lot like A Christmas Carol meets It's A Wonderful Life. The Miz is not a horrible actor, but he is too full of himself to be taken seriously as an actor. Saraya-Jade Bevis (known as Paige in the credits and in the ring) is actually very good in this, and in my opinion, is the reason the movie is even watchable. Miz's real life wife Maryse also appears in this movie as Melody, the bartender. I said it before, but WWE needs to stop with movies and stick with wrestling (which they are barely passing muster as well). The movie is cute and the younger fans of Miz and Paige will enjoy it. This would be a good movie for the kids to watch while the grown ups are fixing the Holiday meals. Put this in their stocking, but older kids may think it's so-so, but give it a chance.
