I don't think I've ever seen a more formulaic movie to be honest. It felt a dreary hybrid of A Christmas Carol and The Shack
I watched one with my mom last year about this woman who is a scientist who starts dating a man who turns out to be the child of Santa and Mrs. Claus, and the Clauses come to her house to stay for a while. Anyway, the woman's dad (I think?) gets suspicious of this Claus guy and takes a DNA sample and runs it.
The way they portrayed DNA analysis was so inaccurate. He took the sample, stuck it on this thing that looked like a fingerprint scanner, and all of this data just magically started popping up on his computer (including an image from gel electrophoresis! he didn't even run a gel!). To top it all off, a message popped up on the computer that said that the DNA sample did not match anyone, and all of this took place in a matter of seconds.
Look, I'm willing to give a little leeway to movies when it comes to portraying science, especially fantasy movies. I don't expect the writers to get every little detail about DNA analysis correct. Maybe I'm being overly critical since I actually am going to be doing this for a living when I finish up college, but I swear the writers of this movie didn't even try to make it seem realistic.
But isn't that standard of all movies, CSI series etc ?
