Summary: Absolutely Terrific Feel Good Holiday Treat
Review: I don't go to see films in theaters more than once, but I have gone the past two weekends to see "Santa Clause 2". It is a simply wonderful, magical and delightful film. Tim Allen is wonderful in two completely different roles. He was born to play this part.The whole cast is perfect. (One note, a previous review stated that Molly Shannon was the school principal who is the main female - she is the obnoxious person who bursts into song in a restaurant, a bit part.) It is wonderful to see the characters from the first Santa Clause years later. Eric Lloyd is now a teen and great as the confused son of Santa who can't tell anyone who his father really is. The Tooth Fairy is a comic gem. The special effects are terrific. The two main reindeer are a riot as they "talk" and the facial expressions are priceless. Watch the ears on the Easter Bunny! The audiences at both performances I attended broke into applause at the end of the film - it is that good. I think it is even better than the great "The Santa Clause". It will definitely become a Christmas classic. ...

Summary: Don't Let The G Rating Scare You Off!
Review: I'm generally not one to go see G rated movies. I enjoyed The Santa Clause on cable, though, so I thought I'd give the sequel a try. I'm glad I did- It's a fun movie that can be enjoyed by ALL age groups. (In fact, there were hardly any kids in attendance the afternoon I went, but the adults were having a grand old time!) Tim Allen is hilarious in his dual roles as Santa and Santa's evil plastic duplicate. This time out, Santa is racing the clock to find A wife, due to a recently discovered Clause in his contract (The "Mrs. Clause"....); Unless he's married by Christmas, he'll no longer be Santa. Elizabeth Mitchell plays the lovely potential Mrs., and has some cute romantic scenes with Allen. The film is fast and funny, and Director Michael Lembeck does a good job of keeping the laughs coming, while propelling the plot along. I especially enjoyed the scenes with The Tooth Fairy... I had a great time, and Yes, I'm ready for The Santa Clause 3: The Baby Clause. (Hint, hint!)

Summary: Holiday Cheer at it's Greatest!
Review: The sequal to the 1994 hit The Santa Clause finally comes to theatres are a couple of years of rumors. This is one of those rare sequals that is actually worth seeing. It takes alot of make of sequal. For one you have to keep the whole cast to make it seem like the first one. Second of all you have to make a story that makes the first one and the second one are both as good. The actors and actresses all came back for the new one which is just great. The movie takes place eight years after the first one. Scott Calvin is still Santa Clause and possibly the best one ever. All the elfs love him and they are in there busiest time yet making toys for Christmas which is coming in about two months. Scott then all of a sudden has problems. His head elf Bernard informs him that his son Charlie has landed himself on the naughty list for vandilizing the school gym. His next problem comes with he is informed by a 900 year old elf Curtis(who looks just like a kid)that he has to get married before Christmas Eve or he could not be Santa Clause anymore. He is also losing weight and losing his beard. He decides that mabey he should stay home from now on because that might be why Charlie has been acting up. Curtis then comes up with a plan. The elfs have made a quicker way to make toys.......by putting them in a machine that doubles them exactly,smaller,or larger. Scott goes into the machine and a toy like version of himself comes out. He goes back to his town bringing Comet the reindeer with him to help Charlie and find a wife. He only has a little bit of magic on him and he can't use it all otherwise he can't get back to the North Pole. Meanwhile at the North Pole the sub Santa has been reading the North Pole rule book and sees that every single child has been bad once so he decides to send them all coal. The elfs try to fight back and he uses the duplicate machine to enlarge dozens of toy soldiers. Scott has to take care of everything at home AND save the North Pole. Geez....it's alot of work to be Santa! The movie's plot may sound a little off but once you actually see the movie you'll be glad you did. Fans of the first one should love this one and if you havn't seen the first...see it. ENJOY!

Summary: The Santa Clause 2 -- not #1
Review: Though this was an amusing film, it is nowhere near as enjoyable as the first one. Both my daughter and I felt that the scenes at the North Pole with the toy Santa were over the top and rather disappointing. More time spent with the real Santa and his hunt for a Mrs. Clause would have given this tale the depth and touch of seriousness that made the first one such a success. Not a badly spent afternoon, but don't give up anything for this one. Waiting for the video would not be a mistake.

Review: Great movie! Tim Allen is awesome as the big guy. Much Lighter and funnier then the original. Only a slight mention of divorce and no child custudy battle this time. Very clean family film leaves you walking away feeling good, I have no Idea what the other reviewers saw. I think this movie will become a christmas classic. Much better then the original!

Summary: Who thought to release this film now?
Review: The Santa Clause 2 is the film charachter Tim Allen was meant to play as Santa. He gets along well with the other legndaries - like the tooth fairy and Mother Nature, but the race is on to fill the unknown Mrs. Clause in Santa's contract Magic ensues when Molly Shannon, the principal at Charlie's, Santa's School, dates a slimmer Santa. This film has great tension as the deadline approaches for Santa
to be married, and the fact that Santa is about half his old size. The special effects and costumes are great at the North Pole, and the comedy is appealing. Ever seen a reindeer in training?
But I wonder at the release date, didn't someone notice Christmas is more than a month away. It's a puzzle to their fuzzy logic.

Summary: Just as wonderful as the first
Review: I usually expect sequels to disappoint me but this is not the case with The Santa Clause 2 which is just as funny, exciting and heartwarming as the first. Tim Allen's performance as Santa/Scott Calvin is top notch and his scenes with Comet the reindeer are hilarious. In this movie Santa must find a new wife before Christmas or else he cannot be Santa any longer, that only gives him 28 days and de-Santification process has already started to take place. Santa/Scott also faces another problem with his son Charlie who has now made it to the naughty list by defacing school property to rebel against the school principal Carol Newman, who seems to be the female version of Scrooge as far as Holiday Cheer is concerned. Carol and Scott are at each other throats from the beginning but the sparks fly right away between the couple and one of the most beautiful scenes of the movie is when Scott uses his remaining magic to take Carol on a sleigh ride and make the faculty Christmas party fun. Scott also faces another problem at the North Pole with the evil Toy Santa that was created to take his place during his absence. The Evil Santa wants to give all the Children Coal in their Stockings and its up to Scott to save the day. This was an excellent movie and I know that as soon as its on a video I will add it to make collection of Holiday Movies.

Summary: A worthy sequel
Review: Originally titled "the Escape Caluse" and set for release in Christmas 2000, the Santa Clause 2 has finally arived. Completely re-done, the film manages to pull off a rarity in Hollywood, a sequel that's as good or better than the original. The movie is not without its problems, occationally there are elements that don't seem to belong (like the opening scene) that were probably left over from the original script. Those minor problems aside, however, TSC2 delivers the spirit, fun and merriment of the original. Particulaly entertaining are the scenes of Santa, now back to the svelt Tim Allen, using his dwindling magic reserve to remind a room full of jaded teachers about the joy of Christmas. Well worth the ticket price and a must buy (when it's released) for your holiday collection.

Summary: I BELIEVE IN SANTA...& I AM 32 YEARS YOUNG
Review: The first Santa Clause was a wonderful take on the big guy in red. It made me a believer in Santa Claus. It showed how human Santa is.
The Santa Clause 2: The Mrs Clause was just as awesome. This time, Santa must find a Mrs. before Christmas Eve otherwise Santa will become Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) for good.
The movie was geared towards children; or children at heart. This time there are more elves, 2 Santas and a reindeer in training named "Chet". The opening sequence is precious. It shows a militaristic view of how Santa and the elves keep their "North Pole" home a secret. Then there was the scene with the "symbols" of make believe. There was Mother Nature, Father Time, the Easter Bunny, Cupid, the Sandman and the Tooth Fairy (or as he wanted to be known as THE MOLINATOR.
Charlie (Eric Lloyd), Scott Calvin's son, is all grown up and getting into plenty of trouble. He is rebelling against Christmas because he cannot tell anyone what his dad does for a living. Scott's ex-wife Laura Miller (Wendy Crewson), now married to Neil (Judge Reinhold), is the legal guardian of Charlie. Her part was small.
The movie centered on Carol Newman (Elizabeth Mitchell), the principal of Charlie's school. She is constantly giving Charlie a hard time because of his behavior. Scott, or Santa, comes in to talk to her and save his son from being suspended. In the process, he (Scott) starts to pursue Carol because the "Mrs Clause" runs out Christmas Eve. Santa, now Scott because he has "desantaficated" himself, has a little Santa magic to use. If he runs out before finding a wife, he cannot return to the North Pole.
Our lovable head elf, Bernard (David Krumholtz) is back. He has the task of keeping the North Pole afloat while a duplicate (& military style) plastic Santa runs things.
The music was beautiful. The sets were superiorly designed and detailed.
The whole movie is enchanting. In this day and age with war all around us and nothing but "R" and "PG-13" rated films, it is nice to have a "G" rated movie for everyone. It was a thrill to see the typical Disney opening sequence.
You do not have to be a kid to see this. I believe in Santa Claus. Tim Allen is brilliant. I truely believe in Santa. When I turn 90 years young, I will still believe in Santa.
Go see this movie. You will believe.
