MrJ2423 - Entertaining
Really cool twist to the Santa clause mythology, grounded to what if Clause was a real figure in our world. Great acting, some action, a really different view of Santa Claus that turns out to be a very entertaining movie. My go to Christmas movie moving forward.
Archeblade - Had my doubts but..
Actually quite a fun movie to watch. Well done!
phoenix1492 - New twist and great movie
Loved the twists and turns in this movie.
Bigdunn22 - Great Film
Lethal Weapon 5 with Riggs in a Santa suit and without that token ignorant and annoying side kick Danny Glover.
a123slonky - Really liked it!
Gibson and Goggins were great and story worked better than expected.
jsamp401 - Aware, Straight, and Entertaining
Fatman is a movie which has drawn the petty ire of imbecilic, sanctimonious, âCriticsâ from cesspools such as Buzzfeed, but it is absolutely a movie in which all its actors deliver excellent performances and in which the theme and tone work. It knows what it is and it tells its story well.
This isnât a feel good movie. Itâs a story which comments on the diminishing quality of people and values, but it does so with nuance, which anyone paying attention knows is seemingly undetectable by people beneath a certain age or I.Q.
If you want an entertaining exploration of a beloved fictional character, seen through the lens of our divided and jaded world, as odd as such a story might seem, this is that movie.
Is it a Christmas movie?
Sure. However, itâs also just a weird romp through the world of a Kris Kringle who is, this time, wreathed in bitterness and frustration instead of ribbons, holly, and cheer. Itâs Santa Claus if he were a real person, though still a magical being, trying to make it in this effed up world in which we all live.
Check it out!
Choesoph - Awesome
A new Christmas annual movie has been born. Loved it!
Mark Struck - Great acting across the board and fun, too
Thanks for funny movie, a true black comedy with great acting. Mel Gibson stands out.
Scuba lulu - rewriting history of SANTA!!!!
WTH is wrong with woke culture?! Trying to change Santa's love life?! didn't get past the first 15 after realisng they are trying to be race contious and make Mrs. Claus A BLACK WOMEN??!!!!! WTH!!!!!!
vossba - Eeeek
I couldnât even finish the trailer. Total cringe.
Buddy810612 - Unexpected gem!
Will definitely add this to my Christmas movie rotation. Was pleasantly surprised how good this film was and how much we enjoyed it!
CummingsFinest - A New Christmas Classic
OMG! A dark, hilarious, twisted Christmas movie, that has you starching your head and laughing at the same time. đ€·đŸââïž Mel is great! Walton is fantastic!
Cycleshifty - Even Santa has had it with 2020
Dark, funny, entertaining, and creative. An interesting take on the Christmas characters we all know. I could opine about the lessons contained (children need guidance or they end up bitter adults beyond saving, or that behind every shiny cartoon facade thereâs a real person with issues and feelings) but that isnât why I watched it. If Iâm being honest, I wanted to see a grizzled Santa dispatch some Christmas justice and wasnât disappointed. We also get to see a supportive and loving relationship between Mr and Mrs Cringle giving the movie a break from violence and spectacle while providing some heart. It isnât classic cinema but I really enjoyed it and will watch it again.
jinxxx - Huh?
What. Did. We. Just. Watch? I couldnât figure out the direction or the reasoning to make it Santa related.
TTU Steve - Exciting!
Good for adults, a little violent.
Andrew Hutson - Tons of Fun
Awesome movie. Leaves room for your imagination. We enjoyed some of the one liners.
Cindie 123 - Covid lunacy
If this is considered a good film there must be something wrong.
mcartas - Slow and Little Action
Thought I was going to watch a more Xmasy die hard, but there is little action in the movie (bulk of it is few minutes at the end). The plot is slow and not that funny. If you have nothing better to do a maybe at most.
Buzlite - I would recommend poking your eyes out instead of watching this.
The WORST (I was going to say Christmas but) movie. Maybe I has too high an expectation, thought it was going to be like the movie theyâd plan to make in Scrugged but they couldnât do it. It started and I thought it had to get better so kept watching , it DIDNâT. Got to the end and hoped it would make up for being so bad, IT DIDNâT. I wish I had my 90 minutes back and I read the reviews. Please, DO NOT WAIST YOUR MONEY and if you can see it for free, find something else to waist your 90 minutes, like practicing holding your breathe, youâll be glad you did.
[email protected] - Good movie!
Itâs a simple movie very good to follow not not too bad for the kids to watch
Mark-L - Save your money
I was expecting a âbattle of wits,â but the actual fight last five minutes. Itâs a nice idea, but poorly executed.
Jadeventure - Worse than horrible
I regret the money that I wasted, yet even more valuable was the time wasted.
Horrible acting, amateur storyline that didnât know what it wanted to be.. action.. no, comedy no.. All the way around.. a worse than horrible movie
crazy4toons - Disappointing
Disappointing , is the best that I can offer on this movie.
I had high hopes but none were achieved.
Just a waste of my time.
Save your money , look elsewhere for entertainment.
JC's Music - Dry humor funny
At first you think this is a very serious drama. Look beyond the drama, and you will find a lot of humor. It isnât the Christmas movie we thought we would get for 2020, but it is the Christmas movie we deserved. Mel, Walton and Marianne do a great job of bringing you in and giving you some laughs. Watch for the comic relief, not for the Oscar winning performances.
III IV MCML - A Most Appropriate Line, Indeed.

GdotLee - Surprisingly bad!
What happened to Mel Gibson?? The script/story is atrocious!!! What a dumb movie.
ripoffmovie - Great acting.
Fresh angle, great acting made it fun.
IAmLifeLoverOfLiberty - Surprisingly good
I rented the movie vaguely remembering the trailer I saw a month ago, all I remember was the trailer was kinda interesting and funny.
So I went in hoping for the best because the last couple of movies I picked for movie night has been bad, and too my surprise this movie exceeded my expectations. The only criticism I would say was that they shouldâve leaned into how evil the kid was, I mean if that added a extra 30min to the movie I wouldnât complain.
Johnstonalum - I liked the movie. It was an entertaining take on the old fat man.
It was an entertaining take on the old fat man.
Mel Gibson still has it. Movie is kinda like Tarantino does Christmas. đđŒ
BBQSoCal - Donât waste your money!
I am so sick of people writing crap movies especially regarding Christmas. Canât we just have a little bit of positivity around a great holiday. This is such a depressing stupid movie and I wish we could get our money back provided a limited amount of information before purchasing such trash.
MorenoShark - Hola
Love Mel Gibson however, I donât need Hollywood shoving interracial marriages down my throat. Nothing against it but just canât watch a movie anymore without seeing it.
theDevilsEnemy - Fatman for the win
If you like Mel Gibson, youâll love this movie. If Christmas is your favorite holiday, youâll love this movie. If youâve ever got a lump of coal for Christmas, you hate this movie. You better watch out. Santa has his eye on you
old vibe dude - Massive Miss
Could have been a Christmas classic, won't be. The bizarre, gratitious cold-blooded murder of innnocent peole is matched only by the unrelenting use of the F-word. Completely out of context. It's like the director is yelling, "Cut, we need to use the f-bomb more and kill some more innocent bystanders." Mr. and Mrs Claus were awesome, they have to be horrified with the final product. This is a horrible movie and the only way bollywood stops making stupid stuff like this is by choking off the money.
vikingoblanco - Flat out terrible
Could not be less entertaining in every single aspect. Absolutely worthless
RWF76 - Instant classic
Surprisingly good entertaining, Mel Gibson is excellent.
Suddenrush - Wife hated it.
But I thought it was creative. Itâs an adult Christmas story. Will appeal mostly to men. Itâs too different for some people and even me calling it a Christmas story is a stretch.
Itâs kind of a train wreck in places. Pretty good in others.
Yam Vermine - Stuck in the middle
Canât decide if it wants to be a comedy or drama and canât do either well. Mel Gibson is completely unlikeable-Goggins is the only good part of this awful film.
Savergfgjf - I donât know why everyone likes this movie I had to turn it off
To me this movie was unbearable. Itâs a mix of shooting people and Christmas. Not for kids or adults. I didnât like it.
GregVaroz - Wonderful!!!!!
Beautiful story about the redemption of modern children.
heIstheReasonforTheseason - Ignore the negative reviews.
This movie was really good! Melâs acting was on point as always. Itâs a slow burn but the story and acting were entertaining.
Flystream - Quirky and bad.
I like quirky movies. I even like art house movies, but this movie is bad. Even the dark humor lacks any creativity or surprise. For sure not for kids. Waste of $6.99.
roseville lady - Loved it!
The movie delivers exactly what you would expect from the trailer. Hilarious performances from the whole cast. Expecting to see more of the young criminal mastermind in future. He nailed it! Mel Gibson is great as a disillusioned, kikckass Santa. I also couln't stop laughing at the hitman doting on his fat hamster. A new cult classic
CHADetroit - Dare to be different
Enjoyed The darker side of Christmas and a hardened Santa. A fresh break from the Holiday hallmark movies, this film takes you to a dark place and that is ok. I enjoyed seeing Mel Gibson back on screen. Well worth the watch, not sure what people who gave it 1 star were looking for, perhaps hit too close to home and they too have gotten coal in their stocking.
webchain - Underrated
The movie sets a great, realistic version of Santa. Santa is a man in the real world with real problems and real human reactions. He must deal with evil as well as getting presents delivered.
MGR1906 - MGR-FATMAN ROCKS!
I may have to add this to my Christmas play list! Mel Gibson does it! Maybe not the holdiday movie I am use to but certainly one I enjoyed!
94Jud - Disappointing
Given where we are as holidays approach in 2020, this movie not only was boring but distasteful in the bloodshed and arsenal of firepower. Donât waste your money! Iâll stick to the holiday classics that offer good cheer and highlight Santa as magical.
Polkhouse - A couple redeeming features
Loved Mrs Cringle and her role in the movie. Twisted take on Santa was intriguing but language and excessive killing were turn offs.
Playerhater007 - Perfect ending to 2020
Do yourself a favor and seek out some reviews elsewhere before you spend your money on this one. After reading these reviews I watched the movie only to be terribly dissapointed with the story, the acting and that Mel Gibson can't seem to find good work anymore.
I sought out other reviews and realized where I had made my mistake. This seems to be the only forum of any kind touting this movie as better than bad. After all, the site hosting these reviews is trying to sell you the movie.
Fedup with cheater - Absolutely stupid!
A pathetic, political correct movie. Mel Gibson must be in desperate need of money to continue to make movies like this, donât waste your money! Itâs absolutely pathetic!!!
S Slammer - Not good
Stopped watching 40 min into it.

Great pacing, perfect casting and a simple yet enjoyable story. The action is quite mild, instead the film relies on its quirky characters to propel the story forward. If youâre looking for something a bit different, this will definitely not disappoint and be a Christmas staple for years to come. Just buy it already!
dgleeds - Needed this in 2020
5 Stars!!!!!!!
MDRixon - If I could give it zero I would
By far the worst Santa movie Iâve ever seen and one of the worst movies Iâve ever seen. Yes it is supposed to be dark but lots of dark movies are well written
Dharby66 - Christmas guns blazing!
Donât believe the bad reviews. This movie was thoroughly entertaining and fun to watch. Definitely not for the kids. Mel Gibson is the perfect 2020 Santa Claus! Good stuff!
wellhamful - Good movie đ„ đż
Didnât know anything about it before watching. I was very entertained. Good job
Ask&Seek123 - Different
Was a different movie, very drama slow until last 25 minutes or so, then the action kicks in. Go story though.
MikeTheHunter - People should give it a chance
I was one of those skeptics before watching the film that looked at the description of the movie and laughed. My first impression was that this was the weirdest synopsis Iâve ever read. However, after getting about halfway through the movie, I was really impressed with how well they stuck with the theme of the movie. This movie blew my expectations out of the water. If any of you out there are skeptical, please give it a chance, and you might see that it might not be what you were expecting, but maybe better.
pholly - Ignore the Scrooges
This movie is great.
Muleonabike - Goggins steals the show
Walter Goggins continues his climb to the top of the Hollywood ladder. Absolutely steals this movie from Mel.
Too Thankful - Satire
Great story.
Daddypool87 - Santa donât play no games with you little brats!!! đ€ŁđŻ
This movie was pretty awesome it was really story driven not much action sadly until near the end but I really hope we get a sequel it was awesome imođŻ
Sleeepeepy - Horrible movie
Donât watch. Run away. Waste of time and money.
XIIILGN - totally didn't know what to expect
I watched the trailer and said this seems so crazy it has to be good. YUP IT TOTALLY WAS!!!! Great performances, and wonderful pacing throughout. I don't think I'll show this one to my kids but it's firmly in our traditions for watching every year. Give yourself a gift this holiday season and watch this!
jicogujo - Long and boring
This movie seem to take forever and it was only 30 min in that I couldnât stand it anymore. I powered through and dealt with a crappy plot and poor acting. Not worth the money and wish I could give the movie back.
davevanz - Slow and ok
Liked the different perspective but the movie fell short and could have been so much better IMO. It was just ok. Family all gave it a 6 out of 10
P3faulkner - How Santa would actually be
A great flick. Nice to see a grown up version with a Santa that demonstrates the challenge of being well, Santa. Gruff, stubborn and flawed yes, but good at heart as well as being clear on the mission. Good fun.
O20K - Surprised
I have seen better from Mr. Mel Gibson, much better, boring movie and I didnât like it at all, itâs not the money worst, sorry.
iTunesDoug - More bizarre than funny
Yes, it's got some funny and dark parts, but we found it difficult to enjoy as a whole. With those key actors, it was very unexpected in a negative way. It didn't seem like a family movie on par with other classics and definitely not as entertaining as other classics such as Home Alone -- but others might be more inclined to a darker style, which is understandable. It is 2020 after all.
Fetti100 - This was her original!
This was one of the most original Christmas films Iâve seen. Very appropriate for 2020 in a great enjoyable cast and performance.
Killbox199 - Fatman has his eye on you, kid!
I donât know who could even come up with this screenplay, or how this movie was green-lighted, but what a crazy ride! It was almost Tarintinoâesque and Gibson and Goggins delivered. I donât often get surprised by a movie but this redefined surprise. Buckle up and you better be âniceâ from here on out.....Fatman is watching......đ
đŒ
Sjm7000 - Disappointed
Zero stars. The worse Mel Gibson movie ever. And Walton is usually great, but his character sucked. No one in this movie clicked at all. Zero stars, would love to have my money and my time back!
Mebcaz - Awful
So disappointed! A waste of time and money. ( I am a huge Mel Gibson fan). What was he thinking??? Its horrible.
The_Captain_65 - Fatman is a bomb
Iâve never written a review for a movie before. After sitting through this, I feel compelled to help anyone else from making the same mistake.
Smallmouth210 - Horrible movie!
Mel Gibson might just need to hang it up!
ChubbyCarg0 - Best Santa Movie Ever!
Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this movie!
OllieandSon - Beats getting Covid-19
Mel Gibson is a hit and miss on his movies but definitely hit it out of the ball park with this movie. Itâs definitely not your hallmark Christmas movies but itâs done tasteful without a lot of swearing, gruesome scenes and brings a little little dark humor, toughness, patriotism to Santa Claus and for a little over a hour and half makes you, laugh, cheer and root for the Fat Man and forget
about all the chaos, ugliness, going on in the world and the worse case scenario you might have no sense of humor and have expectations of this movie to be like âItâs a Wonderful Lifeâ and in that case I apologize for you spending 5.99 and hour and half of your time. If itâs any consolidation to you, the Fat Man has put coal in my stocking before.
Tcuguy1 - Great freaking movie!
Check it out for the amazing weirdness that is Walton Goggins!
Jarrod Gibbons - FATMAN = Elf + Super Bad with Die Hard sprinkled on top.
It was a solid film. Definitely written in the same vein as Elf but not as fleshed out as Elf was.
FatMan had an excellent premise with âwhat would Santa be like in real lifeâ. I loved the idea. And the jokes landed well. I just think they could have fleshed it out a little bit better. Especially with the elves. (Minor Spoiler: Honestly I think the military should have hired the elves to build guns. And then the guns could have been used later during the finale Santa would have had a small army of gun-wielding elves)
Anyways, I really liked the movie. But it just seemed like the writers spent all this time considering what Santa would be like in real life and then maybe stopped delivering the jokes in the third act and mostly switched to just a straight up action movie.
Iâd recommend it though.
Gary Ralston - A waste of an evening.
Do not waste your money or your time. In the final 10 minutes, youâll realize why. You may be able to get a refund, but youâll never get that time back...
Fairly-warned.
joshadak - Modern Day Xmas Classic
Not exactly a family movie, but older audiences will appreciate the dark comedy in this holiday action flick. Great addition to the many Christmas movie classics we take out once a year!
Klint2 - Will become required holiday viewing for me
Mel Gibson is magnificent in this unique and fun-filled Christmas movie. Definitely glad I bought it instead of renting.
CasualConsumer - Classic
Brilliant
WillyMongo - See it to believe it
This film defies a conventional review because itâs occupying a story-telling space and tonal range thatâs all itâs own, and is certainly worth your time. If you like to be thrilled, if you like to laugh, if you appreciate a wild ride with both feet on the ground and some genre-busting fun, give âFatmanâ a GO.
doug432movie - SADDEST ATTEMPT AT A MOVIE!!
Please do not rent/own this âmovie â.
If you send money to this business, they will make more trash. I like the past âMelâ but surely everyday in the making everyone said âwhy are we making this lowest of all productions. I was embarrassed the entire movie that I wasted my time and money.
Lemmot - Decent flick
Pretty slow until the end.
Chriscarlino - Awesome movie
Great movie. Smart and entertaining.
HeatAbyss - Awful
Boring and unpleasent mix of violence and a Santa Claus chritmas story. Really bad movie.
reveiw #12 - Um
Kinda funny very bad plot
movie2341 - Wonderful
Great acting by Mel Gibson ,
kalrykh - What the heck
Ignore the low Rotten Tomatoes score. Definitely the perfect Christmas movie for the horrible year that is 2020.
nyctelecaster - Xmas 2020 style
Not quite âBad Santaâ and certainly not a classic family Xmas movie, âFatmanâ is an entertaining, well written dark fantasy drama. Post- tirade Mel Gibson gives a solid performance and Walter Goggins almost steals the show as a damaged goods, pathological creep. Chance Hurstfield plays a sort of Trump-child that placed âFatmanâ securely in the Xmas movie list, 2020 style. Thumbs up!
A+Chef - Strange Story/ Idea
This movie is not very good. Canât recommend.
Superhero145 - Shockingly it was pretty good!!!
It was better then the trailer but it could have been far better. Mel Gibson as Santa is really good but also very moody you could understand how this time of the year always stressful for everyone and the movie give that in a commentary way. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a new movie or Christmas movie to add to there collection I couldnât agree any less must buy!!!!!!
Kobe & Stan the Man - Laughable
10 minutes of action and bad dialogue .
Can I get the hour and a half back?

Mel is one of my favorite actors and my favorite director. This movie is a good movie, has some funny stuff and good action. Glad to add this to my new Christmas movies to watch each year!
PopsRoy - Hohoho worth it bought it
Strange movie but enjoyed by all of us that watched it.
DadSteel - Mel Gibson is Awesome
Pretty good movie. Interesting story. Fine acting all around. Wish Mel would do more movies. Heâs the man.

What a waste of time and money. Whoever wrote this movie should get coal this year. Mel must really need the money.
