Unfairly bagged in some smart arse books as one of the worst films of all time, this is a colorful, daggy film which admittedly contains some bad child actors but delivers on the promise of its title, and has a solid story: some Martian kids are envious of Christmas so Martians kidnap Santa and two kids. Santa goes to Mars, where he becomes involved in a power struggle. There's a villain, allies, all that.
Some of the acting is terrible - notably the two little earth kids. Pia Zadora looks scared. The adults are hammy but in a right way. It's bright and loud and probably should have been done as a pantomine, but the worst film in the world? Not even close.
