Like many who have posted, I too remember this annual jewel broad casted every year on TV. Many read too much into "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" with claims that its about capitalism, communism, post Woodstock hippie values, etc, etc, etc....the fact of the matter is that it is wonderful little story built around a favorite holiday song. I understand that it is somewhat dated, but I believe it is no longer being broad-casted because of some of the strong religious overtones and clear declaration of good values in this oh so politically correct world of ours....yes, innocence has been long lost for most younger children.

This movie could have been a real winner, instead it is just a lame spoof. Why? well the screen writers failed to grasp the spirit of parody-HUMOR! I laughed perhaps a couple of times, the rest of the "humor" just not funny. The writers need to watch "Airplane" and learn what a spoof is supposed to be about.

This movie does a superb job of portraying gender dysfunction which is totally different from lesbianism. The lead character, "Brandon", is both soft and sweet as he/she tries desperately to fit in as a male. The fact that "Boys don't cry" is based on a true story, gives the movie and issue of gender dysfunction even greater weight.

This movie was so full of inconsistencies.

(Warning, part of the ending is going to be revealed).

The biggest one being the ending when a mafia crime boss fails to show up to steal twenty million dollars as earlier planned in the movie. No reason is given why this change in plot occurs. Also, one character in the movie goes from being straight to suddenly gay just for comic effect...very poor indeed.
