Santa Clause

Pros: good holiday comedy
Cons: unsettling concept -- don't mess with Santa Claus!!

Tim the Tool Man, make way for Tim the Yule Man. Tim Allen stars in Disney's unconventional comedy about a rather ill-tempered toy executive who finds himself taking on the role of the man in the big red suit. Scott Calvin is a divorced father who...

Pros: Good clean movie, kids and grownups can enjoy together
Cons: Nothing outstanding

If you are looking for a life changing movie or a movie that will warm you up all over, this is not it. What this movie will do is entertain you enough to feel that you haven’t; wasted your time watching it. I enjoyed this movie but, if I had to...

Pros: Funny, heartwarming, Christmas story
Cons: Santa Dies

The Santa Clause has got to be one of my very favorite Christmas movies. It's the story of a divorced father, played by the hilarious Tim Allen and his son, Charlie. As the movie begins the father, Scott Calvin is reading Twas the night before...

Pros: Santa’s cave at the North Pole, Eric Lloyd, David Krumholtz
Cons: Allen’s performance similar to that of his TV show, forced message

I don’t normally bother with the movies network TV shows around Christmastime, because they’re pretty much the same ones every year. Santa Who? and Miracle On 34th St played on Christmas Eve for about three years running. Last year ...

Pros: Keeps you laughing and believing in the miracle of Santa Claus
Cons: Movie drags through some of the middle part

Each and every person as they grow up faces the challenge usually between 6 to 9 years old. That challenge is to continue to believe in the existence of Santa Claus as reality or to dismiss the entire situation as legend and myth, believing it is just a...

Pros: It'll go the way of other bad holiday films that Disney has tagged as "instant classics"
Cons: Bad script; whining, obnoxious brat of a kid

During the holidays, few things are more comforting than a soothing fire in the fireplace (after all, a fire in the kitchen, bedroom and most other parts of the home isn't soothing). My Wife has a copy of The Santa Clause, and I just hope I don't...

Pros: Tim Allen, David Krumholtz, plot
Cons: Eric Lloyd, messages seem forced

Here we are once again! It’s the usual time of the year when the holiday themed feature films are out in full force, flooding multiplexes across the country for the Thanksgiving holiday and going into December. And it seems work as usual for the Walt ...

Pros: Funny, great North Pole scenes
Cons: Charlie is kinda whiny

My 10 and 6 yr olds have caught on that you can't begin Christmas until after Thanksgiving. So, a milisecond after that last bit of cranberry sauce ran down into their gullets, they popped this movie into the vcr.

And it begins, the 6 or so...

Pros: Tim Allen in a superb, imaginative film debut
Cons: The divorce angle might be disconcerting to younger viewers

Not being a fan of Tim Allen's sitcom "Home Improvement," I had grave misgivings about sitting through Allen's feature-film debut, The Santa Clause. To my everlasting surprise, the movie is far more imaginative than its one-joke premise has a...

Pros: Very good acting,Excellent plot,very funny,Lots of action and magic..
Cons: I have not found any.

My kids and I collect movie as some of you know,The Santa Clause was bought for my children for Christmas,I make sure to buy at least one movie for them for Christmas,as to we all really enjoy putting a movie in our vcr and sit around together and...

Pros: great acting, script
Cons: none

"The Santa Clause" is, well, it's just a great movie. It's funny, unique and dramatic all at the same time. You simply get drawn into this weird world of Scott Calvin.

The story is about a toy maker named Scott Calvin...

Pros: Fun, amusing, heartwarming, Christmas Theme, For Anyone,etc.
Cons: Makes you believe in Santa again.

I love movies that a parent and child can both enjoy. If you want to see a fun Christmas movie and still come away believing in Santa -- this is it.

Tim Allen, of Home Improvement, is the next Santa is this steady paced, fun adventure....

Pros: A fun and unique family Christmas movie
Cons: Some parts were not particularly funny to me (though some others though those scenes were more funny-- difference of opinions I guess)

The Santa Clause is an original and fun Christmas movie that belongs as a part of every family's Christmas season celebration! Tim Allen is entertaining as usual, and particularly great as a divorced dad that must take on Santa's job due to the...

Pros: Great plot and time length
Cons: None

When I put the tape of "Santa Claus" in my VCR, I had planned on doing a crossword while my nieces watch. But after about 20 minutes into the movie, I was more into it than they were! This movie is so good. I was entertained from beginning to...

Pros: As Christmas family fare goes, this is the best!
Cons: Sad for young kids of newly divorced parents

This charming comedy works well because never once does it remind you that you're watching a movie.

The sets are incredible and the detail is sufficient to keep an adult as mesmerized as any child would be.

Scott Calvin is a...
