Review of The Santa Clause (1994) by Oxana . — 02 Jan 2010
Maybe I've seen this movie one too many times, but it wasn't as funny as I recalled.
Sure, "The Santa Clause" is a witty, funny, fluffy, nice little Christmas movie that definitely gets you in the mood for holidays. There are extremely funny scenes in here, and Tim Allen is pretty brilliant.
So, what happens when a man who really doesn't believe in Santa - although he wants his kid to do just that - manages to make the real Santa fall off his roof? Welcome to the world of (motorized) reindeer, young looking Elves, and the long list of good and not-so-good children.
The movie starts strong, but gets a bit lame and too sweet by the end.
Good actor performances, though, and I'm sure the plot is pretty original as well; Tim Allen's transformation into Santa Clause as Scott Calvin is simply amusing.
If little Christmas glitter doesn't kill you, watch this one for the laughs!
