Rating: 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."
Rating: Summary: Good Yuletide fun! Review: There are some films that just have to be watched every Christmas and this is one of them. It is a feelgood film for a feelgood time of year. The story is simple. Scott Calvin (note his initials) is a divorced father who frequently lets his young son down due to his busy working life. That is until he accidentally kills Santa Claus. To his disbelief and dismay, and his sons delight, he has to become the new Santa. The film follows his changing life and attitudes and shows the newly developing relationship between father and son. There is nothing taxing or complex about this movie, just a heart-warming, funny story that is ideal for all the family. Watch and enjoy.
Rating: Summary: A new Christmas Classic! Review: Just put Tim Allen in anything to do with kids and you're going to have a classic right off the bat. Now combine that humor of his with Disney, well, you just HAVE to have this! This DVD has got to be one of our very favorite NEW Christmas movies. It's just a very neat, well done story on how Santa Claus gets started and changes over the years. Something we've all wondered at some point. When Allen decides to put on the Santa suit and becomes the man himself, well, it's just a great, great story. I love the part when they show his bedroom at the North Pole and there he is, sleigh bed and all! I showed my son that Santa does actually sleep in a sleigh bed and well, now he has one and just has no trouble going to sleep in it! Hey, whatever works! Another part when Allen doesn't want to do the Santa thing and says so - the reaction of all the elves is just heartbreaking. What a great movie with such creativity and just all over feel good about Christmas. Elves with Attitude is a pretty funny section too. I honestly don't think anyone else could have pulled off this movie like Allen did. I had no idea that he was such a great storyteller until this movie came out. Highly recommended, especially if it's 90 degrees in July!
Rating: Summary: A new Christmas 'classic' at our home Review: Though I am not a fan of 'Santa Clause II', my family thoroughly enjoys this, the first movie. It has all the exciting and wondrous elements that kids love and is entertaining for adults too. Tim Allen provides both the gentle kindness you expect from Santa and the cynical flip you expect from an adult told he -is- the new Santa. He is very funny. Also, the way the new experience is treated by Allen and by others around him is prefectly believable.
And like any great Christmas film, the ending is both sweet and emotional. It has become one of the short list of films we watch as a family at Christmas every year.
Technically, the DVD looks and sounds good (you should expect this from a new movie, but it's still good to know) and there are enough extras to satisfy most DVD-ers.
Rating: Summary: Move Over Christmas Story Review: The Santa Clause is one of my fav Christmas movies of all time i think this is better A Christmas Story, This is Tim Allen's best role, and he's like so funny in this movie I laugh every time he cracks a joke, get this entertaining christmas classic if u didnt see it
Rating: Summary: One of the best Christmas movies of all time! Review: The Santa Clause is one of the best christmas movies of all time. All of the actors are really good in this movie especially the head elf,Bernard, played by David Krumholtz. I think that he deserves more recognition than he truly gets because he does the role of the elf really good. This movie has lots of catchy lines in it that make you laugh right out of your seat.
