Best Christmas Movie Ever! "5+ Stars", 2009-01-07
I first watched this movie years ago with my young daughter and wife. Ever since then we've watched it every Christmas eve. It is the funniest and most realistic concept of Santa Claus that we've ever seen. Young children on the verge of indecision will remain confident in the big guys realism and the whole family will just enjoy the movie! My families favorite, hands down! As a note of possible interest, they made a second and third continuation of this saga. Skip number two but don't miss number three! Merry Christmas!!! br / br /

Seeing Isn't Believing. Believing Is Seeing., 2008-12-25
THE SANTA CLAUSE has been one of my Christmas favorites ever since it first came out. IMHO, it is an instant classic. I love this happy, sentimental, magical, feel good movie. Starring Tim Allen, THE SANTA CLAUSE will make you laugh, make you cry, and help you remember the true meaning of Christmas. You WILL believe in Christmas magic. br / br /Tim Allen plays Scott Calvin (S. C., hint, hint), a divorced father doing his best to celebrate Christmas with his son. In typical fashion, Scott is late picking up his son, the turkey catches fire in the oven, they end up at Denny's for Christmas Eve dinner...overall, a complete disaster. Later, as they read The Night Before Christmas, they hear a sound out on the roof. They run outside to investigate, startling Santa, who falls off the roof. Scott tries to help Santa and ends up putting on the Santa suit to keep warm. However, there is a Santa Clause on a card in the pocket of the coat...he who wears the suit becomes the next Santa. Scott and his son end up in the sleigh delivering presents, and then at the North Pole meeting the elves. Of course, no one believes them the next morning, and even Scott thinks it was all a dream. But the Santification process has already begun, and eventually even Scott has to believe... br / br /Tim Allen is just excellent as both Scott Calvin, a toy company executive who has lost his way and as Santa Claus. His transformation from one to the other is perfect: his sense of shock and disbelief vanishes as learns the joy and magic of actually being Santa. Tim's performance is warm, genuine, real, and very believable. You want this to be real, and you want Scott Calvin to be Santa. You feel happy, joyful, and uplifted. The supporting cast is all wonderful, and the elves are just terrific. The sets and effects comprising the North Pole and Santa's Workshop are just right. They make you believe, which is the whole point. br / br /I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SANTA CLAUSE for the entire family. We watch it several times each Christmas, and love it every single time.

I like Tim Allen, so I like this movie. It may not be the best of Christmas movies, but it is fun, and enjoyable to watch as many times as you want. It is the best out of the three that were made.

Another Christmas Favorite!!!, 2008-12-11
This movie came out when I was 4 years old, and since then it has become a favorite to watch at Christmas time! Tim Allen does an awesome job at gradually becoming Santa Claus! When Scott Calvin scares Santa off his roof, he puts on the Santa suit and delivers the toys. After a year, he grows a white beard, and gains some weight. His ex-wife and her husband thinks Charlie should not be around his dad because they think he's going crazy. After being arrested and rescued by E.L.F.S. Scott proves that he's Santa Claus! If you love Christmas and Tim Allen's work, I highly recommend THE SANTA CLAUSE!!!

Terrific movie with Tim Allen. Tim finds a santa fallen off his roof and puts on the clothes so he becomes Santa. Very comedic and entertaining.
