Just what I expected

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

I grew up in the Los Angeles area. In the Los Angeles Southern California area we never get snow. In fact we hardly get rain. In Southern California it is not uncommon to spend Christmas Day in shorts. As a kid in California you always wish for Snow especially at Christmas. As you know all Christmas films seem to always take place in the snow or there is Snow somewhere in almost every outdoor shot. Christmas Cartoons always take place in the snow and when your growing up in California you feel left out. You want to build a snowman at Christmas time. However you will most likely build a sandcastle. That is why I liked this film! It was having a childhood wish come true! That is why I enjoyed this film. In this film Two teen girls, find a weather machine at a shack in the woods. After learning of its controls, they use it to make it snow in Los Angeles. It is every kids dream come true but it has its consequences. It turns out that the weather machine belongs to Santa Claus (John B. Lowe) and he informs Mrs. Claus about this. To help Santa Claus, she sends two elves, Crumpet (John Salley) and Sparky (Bill Fagerbakke).The film has plot wholes but you can watch this with your family and most kids will not be bored! It is worth watching.

The Ultimate Christmas Present (2000) TV MovieThis movie was pretty entertianing and enjoyable. It's not a perfect movie, but it's good enough to get you into the Christmas spirit. It's about two girls who find a machine that belongs to Santa Claus, and it controls the weather. The girls take it, and reveal it can make rain, sun, wind, tornados, even snow, which is perfect because she has a paper due the last day before Xmas vacation. So, they try out the machine, and the next thing they no it's snowing- in Los Angeles! Now, the snow storm has stopped her Dad from getting home for Christmas, and the holiday spirit begins to crumble unless she can stop the machine with the help of Santa and his two elves.This movie has plenty of fun and can be enjoyed by your whole family. Get some cookies and egg nog while watching this, and you should get into the Christmas spirit. 7/10.

I first saw this movie the year it was first released, 2000. It has shown every year since, especially around the holidays and I think it is becoming a great little holiday classic. Good, clean, fun family movie. Hallee Hirsh is adorable as the lead and looks so cute as her younger self.

My three kids and I saw this film at a sneak preview during the Disney Craft Fair, and we really enjoyed it. It's basically about two junior high girls in Los Angeles who find a weather machine. After a few very funny mishaps with the dials, they make the machine create snow so that the schools will close early and they can get a headstart on Christmas vacation. The machine goes out of control, and a blizzard is created in Los Angeles! I don't want to give too much away, but this movie was really a lot of fun, and heart-felt, too. My 10 year old son was thrilled to discover that John Salley, one of his favorite basketball players, was in the film as a seven foot elf! It also starred Peter Scolari from "Bob Newhart" as a very funny boring weather man who is trying to figure out the source of the mysterious snow. I am surprised that Disney made this for cable, as it could easily have been a "real" movie. It has a great message about being together for the holidays, and lots of humor, too. I think most kids and their parents will really get a kick out it.
