Summary: One of the Best Movies I Ever Saw
Review: This movie made my Mom laugh so much! My favorite part was when he was shaving, but his beard came right back, by magic. My Mom's favorite part was at the end, when everyone finally believed he really was Santa Claus. I think you should buy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A *very* cute and odd Christmas Tale.
Review: I have watched this movies numerous times, its definetely good for repeated watchings. It may not be a classic, but its definetely better then alot of other movies out there!

This is about a guy named "Scott Calvin"; a dad who is divorced and head of a toy company. Well Scott is having his son Charlie over for christmas(since Scott is divorced), Charlie isn't at all thrilled about it, and argues with his mother to let him stay home, he esp. doesn't like it much for the fact his father burns the turkey then takes him to denny's for dinner. Well when the get hom and Charlie is in bed, he here's noises on the roof. And those noises are from no other then Santa Clause.! Well Charlie tells his father, who tells him to go back to bed and go's outside to check it out, thus scaring Santa and causing him to fall off the roof. Charlie begs his father to put on santas suite and deliver the presents, which he does after much argumentation. And he soon finds out that he is now(since the toerh Santa Clause is unable to be Santa Clause)Santa Clause himself, he refuses to belive it, but Charlie does.

This is a very fun rich film and is well acted. Its a good film for kids and adults and its a nice Christmas film.! It'll get you in the spirit.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely one of the best Christmas films ever made!
Review: People say this isn't a classic, but I, however, think so. Don't think this movie is too childish. It's not. I'm 14 and I enjoyu every moment of it. It's so wonderful, magical, cute, and very warm in some parts. Tim Allen is hysterically funny, and with some of his lines. "Freezing my nubs off out here, and you want me to get into a Santa costume.", he says after furiously and reluctantly takes off his jacket and is in his underwear putting on Santa's suit, when the other Santa falls off of Scott Calvin's (Allen) roof. When he's inside the first house he takes out a plastic dump truck and it lightly thuds on the floor as he puts under the tree. In comes this Rottweiler growling at him. Scott puts on his most winning smile and says "Nice teeth." The dog barks at him. He tries to escape out of the window, but an alarm goes off. Someone upstairs yells "Who's down there?!" He inches his way towards the fireplace, with the dog growling at him, saying "It's the holidays. Come on. Whoo-hoo-hoo." All of a sudden there's a gunshot. Scott eventually gets back up the chimney and on his way to the next house. This is funny and will become a favorite in your holiday movie collection. (...).

Summary: Won't DestroyThe Illusion of Santa Claus For Younger Viewers
Review: The first thing that I look for in a Christmas movie is...Will it keep the illusion of there really being a Santa Claus? I have younger children who still believe in Santa and I do not want to watch a movie that will "wreck it" for them. This movie "proved" that there really is a Santa Claus...to the child in the movie and also to the adults who were non-believers at the beginning. We enjoyed Tim Allen's cynicism and were delighted that there was no bad language or adult situations. We have watched the movie every year since it came out and it is one that has become a "holiday classic" for us.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: great family film
Review: this is a great movie, tim allen is perfect in his role. i first saw this movie when it came out in the theaters when i was about 11 or 10, and i'm 16 now and i still enjoy watching it every holiday with my family. It's something everyone can enjoy. It's not a classic like A Christmas Story or Charlie Brown's Christmas, but it's worth watching!!

Summary: Merriment in July ;>
Review: If the summer weather is getting to you and you start to long for snow and Christmas cookies with hot apple cider, this is just the movie to awaken that inner child who is still fascinated with life and believes in magic.

The scene is set for a rather bleak Christmas. Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) plays the part of a divorced toy company executive who wants to spend Christmas with his son. Charlie is not exactly thrilled with the prospects of his father's culinary talents and they opt out for dinner at Denny's. Later that evening after Scott has read The Night Before Christmas to Charlie, Charlie awakens to the "clattering" on the roof. Scott runs outside to find reindeer on his roof and Santa who then suddenly falls off the roof. Ooopps.

So, what will happen to all the presents and who will deliver them? Scott puts on the red suit and by doing so enters into the" Santa Clause" and must be the next Santa. In order to prepare for his duties, he physically changes into the jolly Santa everyone loves. Scott mentions a few "versions" of Santa Claus who are loved by millions of children all over the world. This legendary figure is portrayed in this movie as a jolly, stout man with a twinkle in his eye, rosy-red cheeks and a cheerful laugh. This is the American adaptation of the European legend of Saint Nicholas.

Though he may look a bit different in each country and be called many names, to children of all countries his message is the same. They peek out the windows and hope to catch a glimpse of this special man as he flies through the sky, delivering gifts for boys and girls they will get to open on Christmas Day.

There are many enjoyable witty lines executed so well by Tim Allen. The script is superb and memorable. The classic "Tim" with fire extinguisher in hand to save the flaming family turkey is a must see. Charlie himself says some pretty funny one liners and is quite the actor in this movie. The elves are also adorable and they come to the rescue at a moments notice.

A very enjoyable family comedy you can laugh along with, year after year. While this movie doesn't really explain the true meaning of Christmas, it does give some insight into the true spirit of the Holiday Season.
