Summary: Fun for younger children
Review: In Santa Clause 2, Tim Allen (who inherited the role of Santa when he put on the red suit) discovers that he must marry and marry fast! Meanwhile, his teenage son has become a "tagger" and is in big trouble at school. Tim (minus Santa's extra pounds) falls for the pretty school principal, and before you know it, they are married.
Santa Clause 2 differs from the original film in that this one is only for kids under 12. Adults may find the script to be really poorly written and the plot trite and corny. However, I imagine very young kids who still believe in Santa aren't so picky and will love the story and the cute reindeer. The North Pole and Santa's workshop are well made and the movie oozes happiness. Tim Allen looks uncomfortable with the dialog and hams it up way too much. Elizabeth Mitchell, as the principal, lacks charisma and is instantly forgettable. The elves try way too hard to be cute and the idea of Santa having to marry is not something kids would be interested in; but in spite of this, it's still a colorful and cheerful Christmas movie and children will enjoy it. I'd recommend this film for kids under 12. Preschoolers should love it.

Summary: DECENT SEQUEL AND HOLIDAY MOVIE
Review: Tim Allen is back as Santa in this Sequel to The Santa Clause. This time, Santa finds out that he has to get married by Christmas Eve or give up being Santa forever. Complicating matters is his son Charlie is now on the "naughty" list and Santa has to go home and find out what's going on. To keep things running at the North Pole, #2 Elf Curtis creates a phony toy Santa. Unfortunately the Toy Santa is straight out of the "Terminator" and has his own ideas about how Christmas should be. All of the original cast members are back for the sequel, adding Elizabeth mitchell as Charlie's principal and possibly the future Mrs. Clause. Some very funny moments, much like the first along with some genuine holiday warmth. Some decent special effects too. The Santa Clause movies have one of the best looking North Poles seen in any holiday movie. The extras on the disc are a bit disappointing. Disney did not advertise it as a special edition and that's good. You get commentary by the director Michael Lemback along with deleted scenes. There's a few very short featurettes which are only about 3 - 5 minutes in length. There's also some DVD-Rom games you can play. It would have been nice to get more out of this but I guess a Christmas movie sells itself. i give it a 4 for the movie and a 2 for the extras.

Summary: Tim Allen Shines.
Review: The guy who made Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor really does make an impressive Santa Claus. Reprising his role from a few years ago, Tim Allen plays Santa Claus. Since taking over the job, children all over the world are more happy with Christmas, the North Pole is more merrier than it has been in years, and everyone around the globe seems to be brimming with holiday cheer. Then things start to go wrong. P>I found THE SANTA CLAUSE 2 to be quite enjoyable. It's a worthy sequal to the original movie and it's only downside is that the acceptance of Principal Neuman that Scott is Santa seems a bit rushed. Kids will enjoy the movie with all the toys, flying raindeer, and Santa. However, adults maybe surprised how much they enjoy the film too, there is much humor in the film that children will not understand. A good family film and an enjoyable way to start off the holiday season that is soon underway.

Summary: I liked it... but...
Review: I was disappointed by this movie.. The first one was, to me, so magical and enchanting - while this one seemed to fall short. It wasn't a BAD movie, it just wasn't what I was expecting after the first one. The basic plot is that Santa (Tim Allen) finds out 28 days before Christmas that he must find a wife (which is called the Mrs. Clause) before Christmas or else he cannot be Santa any longer. Since he needs to be finding a wife and at the North Pole supervising toy making, some of his elves make a toy clone version of him to stay at the North Pole. He goes down to the town his son lives in to find a wife, and immediately latches on to the son's super hot principal. The rest I won't ruin for those who want to see it. Ok... I really liked the crazy clone Santa plotline - I thought it was hilarious. It might be a little too scary for extremely young kids (especially since he wears a Saddam Hussein like outfit), but I think most will be able to handle it with no problems. I could not STAND the reindeer. The animatronics were horrible and the reindeer itself was just annoying (and I really hate when a movie with so much promise stoops to fart jokes). If they had left that entire part out of the movie, I think it would have been much better. Overall, the story is cute. I liked it - its worth renting around Christmas time with the family. It doesn't hold a candle to the original Santa Clause, in typical sequel fashion. I recommend it - just don't go in expecting to see the Santa Clause all over again!

Summary: Excellent!
Review: A nice return to form for Tim Allen. Nit that his other movies were bad (I liked them all), but they were missing something. In the Santa Clause 2, it is back. Over the years, he has become the best Santa Clause ever. But they stumble upon another Clause that one of the elves overlooked: The Missus Clause. It states that to continue being Santa, he must get married before X-mas day. As each day passes, his beard gets smaller and continue to lose weight. To top it all off, his son Charlie ends up on the Naughty List. As he tries to find a wife, deal with the fake Santa who is taking over the North Pole, and figure out what is bothering his son, the movie fills up with excellent comedy and fun while delivering a good message. It's not as good as the first, but it soon to be a X-mas classic.

Summary: Yes, yes semi-disapointed in the 2nd, hopefull for the 3rd.
Review: Now, I'm a full blooded Christmas fan (my birthday is Dec. 20th) So I know first hand what I like to see in a X-mas movie. The first Santa Clause was wonderfully charming, the elves were cute and held a certain air about them that screamed "Holidays!! Whoo!..Now get back to work!!" and I simply adored Tim Allen as Santa Clause he gave a fun air to the film that made me rush out and buy it asap. So of course many ayear later when I heard about a 2nd one you can bet your bottom dollar I was that teenager in the front row giggling at Clone-clause, as soon as the movie started
I found myself amused (well...most of the time.) by the movie.
It had funny and touching moments, it had a few good new characters. I.e. the tooth fairy, Father time, mother nature and clone-clause. And a few not so good ones. I.e. Cupit, Cutis, the easter bunny, Comet... But what I found myself most disapointed in was the old characters themselfs!! They seem've changed so much within what ohh, 6-8 years? Charlie was a reble? Laura and Neil were bland worring parents and the elves?! Oh god don't get me started on the elves! I missed Judy! and the old costumes and set and I hated Curtis' mood swings!
As for Bernard? where did my gruff, protective big brother elf go? Now he's winny, pensive and unsure of hiself? Come on!
Now...I understand that David K. (Bernard) Was only 16 when he played the role in the first movie and that he was 24 in the 2nd but come on!! Why did the director have them change so much? Oooohh yeah a little birdy told me about him (Check out interviews with him on google for yourselfs) and that birdy told me he had a meeting with Tim Allen and had him change the other actors view points on their characters, you know, make them a little disney-er? Not sure if its true, watch the DVD for yourselfs and tell me if you like him on the set I sure didn't. Over all:
I WAS disapointed in the 2nd movie, I held more hope that the characters and movie world/set would stay the same but it didn't, and I was highly upset by the new Comet, but over all. If your a fan of the first, check out the 2nd and see for yourselfs. As for me? I hold hope tight in my heart that the third and forth will be golden, after all, its the same crew/director that did the first and I'm hoping that somewhere out there Tim Allen and David K. along with the rest of the crew will find it in their hearts to dig out the old Santa Clause characters they played in the first one.
For I sure do miss em. For more on Santa Clause 3, 4 the movie check out Google with the keywords:

Happy Holidays.

Summary: A MISSED OPPORTUNITY
Review: In Brief 8 years ago Scott Calvin became Santa Clause due to a clause in the contract that he discovered on the previous Santa who fell from his roof. Since then he has enjoyed bringing joy to the world, but life is tough when he has a son and broken marriage back in the States. Now a new clause has been found in the small print of the contract card: he has to find a Mrs Clause to marry by Christmas Eve or else he will no longer be Santa. With this weight on his shoulders he returns home to sort out the problems with his troubled son leaving a toy Santa in his place who is a stickler for the rules and decides that maybe not that many children in the world have been good after all! Chaos ensues, will Santa find his wife, will he sort out the mess at the North Pole, and will he sort out his son, all before Christmas Eve is over!!! Review The Santa Clause was in my mind the definitive Santa movie, it appealed to both adults and kids alike and didn't have Dudley Moore in it nor was it so overfilled with sugary sweetness that I wanted to puke. Well may he rest in peace but thankfully Moore isn't in this film, so the alcohol content may be low but the sugar content is definitely high. So high in fact that a warning should be placed on the poster "This film is rated U and may contain some scenes that could cause tooth decay in viewers of a sensitive nature." As a rule of thumb, Hollywood film-makers see a sequel and either add kids or animals to the mix, don't believe me check out Robocop 3 or Mad Max 3 to name two. The Santa Clause 2 has elves, who are either sleeping in the summer or are very busy at Christmas so are conveniently played here by children for the sake of the film. However this is not a bad movie, my rating of two stars acts as a guide to those that remembered the first film when the were young and thought they might get in the Christmas spirit and see the second, don't! Watch the first on TV and save some money, however if you do have kids or want to borrow a neighbours so you can see it anyway you can double the rating to four stars as any child under 10 will love it. Tim Allen is always a pleasure to see, and the movie from an adult's perspective takes a good 20 minutes to kick in, as he then returns to his former state, Scott Calvin leaving behind a dictator Toy Santa (Allen in toy makeup and full Buzz Lightyear mode) to hold the North Pole fort. Out of the main role of the main man, Allen excels and the humour from an adult perspective is apparent and funny, while the romance shared between Calvin and Carol (Mitchell) is genuine and touching. The Verdict All in all, this piece of Christmas cheer is well worth the effort if you have children that you'd like to take. Its inoffensive and joyous and from that perspective is a rare treat at the cinema today, but it has little to offer anyone in their teens or older, which is a shame as based on the first film that's an opportunity that has been missed.

Summary: My gosh...
Review: People acctually liked this movie.
I am a movie lover and gave this a chance. I popped it in my VCR and began watching but I couldn't really pay attention to this, because, IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST BORING MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN (for kids) Every time I look at the reviews the majority of the reviews are in favor of the movie but I thought people would be smart this time but I was wrong. 1. The raindeer (comet) is portrayed as a fat farting slob when it's supposed to be cute
2. The lame plot of santa's son who is so upset that he can't tell anybody about his dad (isn't that so sad?) that it drives him to vadalism.
3. The very annoying, unfunny robot claus that takes over the workshop with toy shoulders
4.chessy specail effects
5. predictable ending What I like about it- .... make the choice yourself you'll probably turn it off. I reccomend this to noone.
