Divorced toy company executive Scott Calvin (Tim Allen of Home Improvement and the Toy Story movies) is pleased to have his son Charlie for Christmas, though the boy himself isn't happy about it. But when Santa Claus accidentally topples off the roof of the house and falls with a thud in the snow, Scott finds himself taking the merry old elf's place and earning new respect in his son's eyes. When the night ends, the reindeer take them to the north pole, and Scott discovers that by donning the fabled red suit, he's inadvertently agreed to become the next Santa Claus. The next morning he wakes up in his own bed and thinks it's all a dream--only Charlie remembers it with crystal clarity. Scott now has to deal with his suspicious ex-wife (Wendy Crewson, Air Force One) and her psychiatrist boyfriend (Judge Reinhold, Beverly Hills Cop), who both think he's playing tricks with Charlie's mind, and also with his own out-of-control body, which is putting on weight and growing a prodigious beard. The Santa Clause probably won't supplant It's a Wonderful Life or Miracle on 34th Street as anyone's favorite holiday film, but it's an enjoyable, straightforward family film, anchored by the affable charisma of Allen. --Bret Fetzer

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.
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...
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.
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!!! December 11, 2008

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.
Outstanding movie! October 18, 2008
