Summary: Believing is seeing
Review: To quote an elf in the movie, "Seeing isn't believing. Believing is seeing." This is a wonderful funny, yet touching Holiday comedy. Adults will enjoy the jokes poking fun at the adult characters. Kids will delight in the magic and getting their "How does Santa do that?" questions answered. If you can imagine the movie "Prancer" with a comedic touch that's the closest I can come to a comparable. Tim Allen is amazing in this role. My kids have even made their own North Pole door sign and practice flying their reindeer after only one viewing! Don't miss this one.

Summary: Yuletide Cheer!
Review: Tim Allen shows that the Home Improvement kids aren't the only ones he can work with - Eric Lloyd ("Heart and Souls" , "Jesse") and Allen make a great pair in this great family movie from the people who do it best, Disney.Lloyd gives a superb performance as the son who insists on believing in Santa Clause despite his mom's new boyfriend - and in doing so keeps the Christmas Spirit glowing in all of our hearts.

Summary: This could have been better
Review: The story of a divorced dad pressed into Santa duty after the previous one takes a header off the roof is, in Disney's hands, a fairly predictable outing. There are flashes, however, of what the movie could have been--many of the scenes at the North Pole with the elves are pretty funny, and Tim Allen does a great job. I did, however, long to smack the kid playing Allen's son--pretty much all he does is whine. The standout scene for me is a small dance sequence set to (of all things) ZZ Top's "Gimme All Your Lovin'" featuring Allen and the elves--they even do moves that were in the video! Overall, not a bad one to haul out at the holidays, but there's really nothing here that hasn't been done before.

Summary: One of my favorite Christmas movies
Review: It's hard to believe that "The Santa Clause" isn't more of a Christmas classic. Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) and his son Charlie (Eric Lloyd) go on a mission to save Christmas after the original Santa Claus falls off a roof and passes away. Scott doesn't know it at first, but when he puts on Santa Claus's suit, he becomes the new Santa Claus. "The Santa Clause" has a lot of parts that are hilarious such as when Scott starts getting fat and tells everybody that he was stung by a huge bee. But it's not only a great comedy movie, it's one of the best family movies. This is one movie that anybody, no matter how old they are, can enjoy. Tim Allen gives one of his best performances, and so does Eric Lloyd. I can't think of anything that's wrong with the movie. It's hilarious, it has a dramatic plot, and it never gets old. "The Santa Clause" isn't one of those Christmas movies that are just good to watch during the holidays, it's a great movie to watch any day of the year. It's a classic in my book. I recommend anybody to get "The Santa Clause."

Summary: A movie reviewer ;)
Review: Unlike some reviewers that give up easily to run and hide in the safety of a book (to the point of doing book reviews in a movie critique!), this DVD delivers! Tim Allen manages to keep his "everyday guy" persona intact and goes on to create the Santa mystique par excellence. A must-have addition to your Christmas movie collection the whole family will enjoy.

Summary: Christmas Commercialism at its FINEST. Get the Book.
Review: One of the most commercial Christmas movies I've ever seen which plays to America's fetish with putting fat people onscreen so we can laugh at them and feel better about ourselves. Acting is precisely what you'd expect from a Disney film and the script is functional at best, complete with a "Save Santa so Christmas Won't Be Cancelled!" scene (as if Santa's ability to deliver presents on Christmas Eve would determine whether or not we celebrate this religious holiday). For parents with children trying to learn the TRUE meaning of Christmas or get something meaningful out of the holiday season, stay FAR away from THE SANTA CLAUSE. Good for a couple of chuckles, to see what Tim Allen would look like in a fat suit and for a contemporary explaination of the "Santa Mystery" (how does he deliver all the preasents, etc.). I HIGHLY recommend THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF SANTA CLAUS by L. Frank Baum (the author of THE WIZARD OF OZ). For something that explains the "Santa Mystery" in a classic sort of way, and provides great holiday reading for (and with) children, you cannot go wrong with this book.
