I was searching different Christmas movies online and came across this one. Coming from an Italian background, the title and poster got me interested, so I decided to watch the movie. This is obviously not a big studio movie, it’s a 70 minute low budget Mafia comedy. I thought it was very funny, for what it was. Tony, the lead character was hilarious, I was laughing a lot during this movie.

Ho Ho Ho Bada Bing Bada Bang... We loved A Wiseguy Christmas, it was fun and lots of laughs, our family loves indie films and this one hit a home run.. Great for the whole family, from 3-103 no worries of our kids seeing or hearing anything offensive, but still fun for the grown-ups it had a little bit My Blue Heaven and bit of Mickey Blue Eyes... Loved the actors. Thank you all for making a film that the WHOLE family can enjoy, there are too few of these being made...

Love, love, LOVED this movie. The poster promised family friendly and for young kids...it absolutely was family friendly - a complete giggle! As adults we were not expecting anything serious but interestingly kids don't care...they just want to be entertained and laugh. That they did including repeating lines from the film that kids find funny and appealing...and this film is full of kid friendly humor. My friends kids are trying out the Tony Pantera talk and having fun with it.. Nice message and very appealing characters. Can I give it ten or more stars?
