Plot Details: This opinion reveals minor details about the movie''s plot.
Scott Calvin just wanted to get some more sleep that fateful Christmas Eve. Instead, he finds himself in Santa's sleigh finishing up the deliveries after Santa slips off his roof. When he reaches the North Pole, he gets an even bigger surprise, he now is Santa. With only his son to guide him, he must accept his new life in time for the holiday next year.
This is a wonderfully fun movie. Tim Allen gives a great performance, as does the entire cast. The jokes are frequent and right on target for a story of a normal man becoming a legend most people don't believe in. I've added this movie to my list of required holiday viewing and look forward to it each year.
The 5 star rating is in spite of this DVD, however. Don't get me wrong, the picture and sound are great. It's the features that I find disappointing. Billed as a special edition, it has a few features that kids might enjoy once, and that's it. There are no behind the scenes/making of features, no commentary, and they don't even have the theatrical trailer. There is a fun feature hidden at the end of the trivia game, but getting there is so annoying that it's almost not worth it.
If you haven't seen this film, you're missing a real treat. Get it today to enjoy during the holiday season. Just be forewarned that this is the special edition that wasn't.
