FATMAN (2020)

STORYLINE: To save his declining business, Chris Cringle, also known as Santa Claus, is forced into a partnership with the U.S. military. Making matters worse, Chris gets locked into a deadly battle of wits against a highly skilled assassin, hired by a precocious 12-year-old, after receiving a lump of coal in his stocking.  (IMDb)

    Fatman is the latest in the bad Christmas movies that we have been watching, as we assemble for our weekly nights of mischief and mayhem. Ok I use those words loosely.  It’s more junk food and goofing off, which is more fun.

    I was torn if I was going to write a blog about this fine feature because it was my choice to watch. It seems a bit to self indulgent.  However I was asked why should that stop me? So with that statement here we go,  

   Fatman first came to my attention in 2020 with a premise that was so bizarre how could it not be a fun watch?  I certainly thought it was.  So much so that it has stuck with me over the years.  That’s is why it has stuck with me over the years, and why I put it forth as my recommendation for the group,

     I will say I enjoyed watching last weeks feature, Santa’s Slay, more. That had more of a groovy B movie vibe going for it then Fatman.

    Now I am really looking forward to Friday. We are having our holiday potluck and watching Santa with Muscles.  Beyond a really cool title, the only thing I know about it is Hulk Hogan plays Santa.

    Until next time I will see you at the movies!
