Review of The Santa Clause 2 (2002) by Joëlle S — 26 Dec 2008
Any movie that regards The Toothfairy as The Moleinator is in serious trouble. But that's not the only problem with The Santa Clause 2, the problem is its lack of freshness and enjoyability. The first movie was a real Christmas treat; funny, ocassionally rather surprisingly witty, and always with a tender side and a refreshing Holiday spirit.
This movie got a lot of good reviews that called it an enjoyable and charming little movie, but I missed something. The first movie seemed very down to earth, very simple and fun. This movie is all over the place.
A television show director made The Santa Clause 2, and it's very evident that this is so. The movie is too sporadically daffy and serious and not at all inspired. There's a major plot hole in the entire idea of Santa Claus existing in our world that need not be pointed out.
The first movie had fun with the notion of Santa Claus being real, The Santa Clause 2 bashes it all over the head. This movie takes the idea of Santa Claus too far. It's not fun anymore.
