For those of us who never lost our childhood love for the man they call Santa Claus, the film Stalking Santa may be the perfect gift this Christmas. Shot as a mockumentary ala This Is Spinal Tap, the poker-faced wit appeals to adults of any level, and the film might even be ideal for children questioning whether or not the phenomenon of Old St. Nick is real.

Directed by Greg Kiefer, Stalking Santa chronicles the quest of self-proclaimed "Santatologist" Dr. Lloyd Darrow, a man so obsessed with discovering the truth about Santa Claus that he's willing to risk the respect of his family, harassment from the government, and his own personal safety (especially when dealing with fake mall Santas). His search brings forth knowledge of ancient hieroglyphics portraying a large man in a red suit, a bizarre cover-up involving the Roswell crash and its effects on the Town Center Shopping Plaza in Polka City, OH, amongst many others. Narrated by William Shatner, the films plays out like a documentary on the Discovery Channel, only much funnier.

A moment comes when Darrow questions the identity of a man whom he believes to be an elf. By studying photographs, he comes to the conclusion that the mystery man's once pointy ears could have been surgically removed in order to make him blend in as a regular member of society. "Could they have been snipped off? Do you have records of that?" he asks a doctor over the phone. "Oh yeah, I'm quite serious" he adds before waiting a few seconds to hang up the phone.

It's just one example of the sweet but natural humor filling the duration of the film. Darrow's obsession with Santa Claus draws on a youthful spirit that children can identify with, and his seemingly real encounters with ordinary people could trick kids into thinking it's a real documentary. For a fun movie screening the whole family will enjoy, make sure to check out Stalking Santa.
