CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Matt Greene Has there ever been a production company that seemed to care less about the quality of their output than Disney between the late 90s and early 2000s? The first Santa Clause is a funny and imaginative Christmas tale, but this thing is annoying, forced, ugly, and unnecessary. I even like Tim Allen, but I never wanna watch him play a giant sentient doll ever again.

Scarecrow-88 Silly, unnecessary sequel is more or less a cash grab resulting from the success of the first film. This one has Tim Allen reprising his role as Scott Calvin, who became Santa in the previous film, needing a Mrs. Claus through some sort of requirement if he wants to ride the sleigh on Christmas Eve night with the reindeer guiding him in his full form of white beard, big belly, and rumbling voice of Ho-Ho-Ho. Needing to leave the workshop of the North Pole in order to find his bride, Calvin, thanks to a genius elf boy and his "duplicator", he is able to create a plastic "replacement" to tend to matters while away. What happens, unfortunately, is that replacement Santa becomes a monster, fully dedicated to delivering coal "to all the naughty children" as his army of toy soldiers keep the elves in the workshop at bay. Meanwhile Scott begins to "lose" the Santa weight, white hair and beard, meeting a principal at his son's school (Elizabeth Mitchell) who appears at first to be quite a strict disciplinarian with little tolerance for mischief or bad behavior. While Scott tries to get through to his misunderstood son (Eric Lloyd), his good heart and charm wins over the principal who thought he wasn't considerate of her standards and a bit lacking in parenting his son acting out in ways she is concerned.A fun cast *does* encourage a smile here or there, and I did like the bit with Allen and his lone reindeer, Donner, but the premise (getting hitched in a hurry to Mitchell who finds his claims to be Santa more than a bit hard to believe) had me a bit Bah Humbug. Lots of money was thrown at this sequel…you see that in just the elaborate workshop and Plastic Allen Santa, with Spencer Breslin and David Krumholtz as elves trying to keep him restrained from turning everything upside down and inside out. Allen is almost always watchable and he gives it all he has, especially in the dual roles, getting to stretch a bit. He has good chemistry with the lovely Mitchell, too. But the plot is pencil thin…it rides Allen all the way and he does try to carry this load of nonsense as far as he can on just his charisma alone. Do I think it works? For seasonal fare, it is a diversion that works about as well as something like Fred Claus. It more or less fills time and skates by on Allen's comedic skills. But the plot is all gobbledygook. Supporting cast with the likes of Judge Reinhold, Wendy Crewson, and Art LaFleur do what they can in limited roles. The first film was a nice surprise, but multiple sequels maybe were pushing it. The makeup effects on Allen weren't too shabby, going the Klumps route...in reverse!

SimonJack "The Santa Clause 2" holds to the long-held Hollywood axiom that sequel films seldom do as well as the first film. While there is some humor, this film picks up where the original left off, only 10 years later. Scott Calvin (played by Tim Allen) has been doing his job as the new Santa, so things are pretty much the same – except for one small matter. The "Mrs." clause of his "contract" now kicks in. So, this film's new humor is all about Santa finding a mate. There is some fun and mischief, and the film provides a few laughs. The kids may enjoy it, but there's little special or lasting about this film. It's a piece of what has become Hollywood holiday "fodder" in the 21st century.

2karl- Disney have come up trumps in this sequel in this modern day Santa classic with Tim Allen as Santa/Scott Calvin this adventure has Xmas cheer chuckles and loads of goodies stuffed into this 1hr4omins 7/10 Santa the north pole elves and so on Tim Allen returns as the favorite Santa of all time he has been Santa for 8 years and his loyal elves think so to but his world is turned upside down when Charlie gets in trouble and lands on his naughty list and Santa discover there's a glitch in the clause that he never read from the first film so he has to find the right clause or he wont be Santa for very much longer so with a Xmas a month away he hatches a plan to save Xmas with a funny looking reinder in training and prancer over eating and embrace people life with a bit of magic warmth and fun escape to this film its worth the wait
