The Santa Clause

I had seen The Santa Clause before but not in a long, long time. We picked it up to have something different to add to the Christmas movie rotation. The film is a good one for us -one we haven't already seen a kajillion times and one that's appealing to us all. Tim Allen makes an enjoyable Santa, and the rest of the cast members are fine in their roles.

DVD Talk says,

The Santa Claus has been entertaining those looking for a little holiday cheer for 18 years though, and why? Because it's a well-balanced effort that can capture the heart and imagination of everyone, children and adults alike.

Roger Ebert says the film "is often a clever and amusing movie, and there's a lot of fresh invention in it." Rotten Tomatoes gives it a score of 80%.
