Santa Clause Review Summary

Fans report The Santa Clause has been "putting me in the holiday spirit for years." Young and old, everyone seems to enjoy this newer holiday classic by Disney starring Tim Allen, and they don't just watch it once. Most report watching it numerous times, and fans that grew up with it are now purchasing it to show their own young children. Reviewers seem to enjoy Allen the most, remembering him from Home Improvement, and appreciate that Disney thought the same thing, bringing him back for all the sequels of The Santa Clause. They like the physical changes he goes through to actually become Santa. "Tim Allen is very charming; he is Santa Claus!" Reviewers often use this movie to get them into the holiday season, as it "has everything that a great Christmas movie should have."

I just finished watching The Santa Clause for about the 50th time.  I've been watching this movie since it first came out back in 1994 when I was still in grade school.  Something about this movie puts me into the holiday spirit more than almost any other Christmas movie so check your listings right now to see if it's playing again... or rent it!!

Minor Plot Details
Scott Calvin isn't the greatest dad.  He is divorced and his son, Charlie, doesn't really want to stay for him for Christmas.  His wife's new husband is a psychatrist who told Charlie that Santa doesn't exist.  Scott is mad about...

Ever since I saw Santa Clause when it first came out (saw in the theaters), I was hooked on it! Then, went it went straight VHS, I got it. Sadly, I lost it in a house fire. But, whenever it comes on TV, I go back to that moment in the theaters!

Tim Allen is such a wonderful actor- and it's great that the writers of the Santa Clause series casted him in all of the 3 movies.

Tim Allen is hysterical in the movie....i'm a great comedy fan.  The 'Santa Clause' is a must for the family to see and one that I plan on purchasing for my movie library. Adults and children young and old would enjoy watching it over and over again.  It is full of special effects, humor and you never know what "Santa" is going to do next. the writers of The Santa Clause were whitty  This is a very cute family movie......GO TIM ALLEN!!  I have been a fan of Tim Allen since he first started doing comedy and have enjoyed every movie that he has ever been in..and i'm looking forward to watching... review »

I've always liked Tim Allen since I watched him on Home Improvement! When I saw he was going to be in The Santa Cluse, and Santa Cluse 2, I already knew he would do a good job, because he is a VERY good actor. He may be more of a comedian, but he can also be a dramatic actor if he wants to be. Those are the kind of actors I like to see

Anyways, back to the movie. It was very amusing to see Scott Calvin go through the changes of becoming Santa Clause. He didn't know what to do about it, and it was funny when he was trying to prevent it!

Good outline of the story, and it was interesting how he became...

This movie is perfect for the entire family. My family enjoys this movie all year round not just around the holiday. We have seen all of the santa clause, but santa clause 1 has to be my favorite. This movie inspired me to tell my chidren their father was santa claus, they really took it and ran, i told them that explains how santa knows what they want, and if they have been naughty or nice, and i told them that santa has his eyes on them all year round...lol  This movie i'm sure all children of all ages can enjoy this movie.

The Santa Clause DVD is the first in the storyline, and in my opinion, the best.  I love to watch this movie to get into the season's festivities. 

Tim Allen portrays a regular guy who doesn't buy into all of the seasonal hype about Santa Clause and Christmas until he has a close encounter with the big guy himself.  Elves, reindeer, and a couple trips to the North Pole all keep you rooting for the guy who doesn't know he's santa, while real life and personal doubt keeps kids wondering if Santa will pull through on Christmas Eve.   

What I liked about this movie, other than the humor,...

The Santa Clause is clever and original. Tim Allen is very charming he is Santa Clause! Through the entire movie you feel like things make sense and answers those tough questions that kids ask. I really could have used it when my Kids were younger.

Whether you belive  in Santa or not you can enjoy this film. When I sat my parents down to watch it for the first time, I laughed so hard because they enjoyed it so much. There are jokes that kids will get but also ones that the adults get. What a good combination for a great comedy 

It just makes you feel good and gets you into the Holliday season....

We watch all the Santa Clause movies every Christmas.  Wonderful family movie!  Really puts you into the spirit of Christmastime.  My son loves it.  I actually watched Santa Clause when my son was born.  No bad language.  We also have the Santa Clause II and Santa Clause III and looking forward to another one.  The elves are so cute and talented.  Love the head elf Bernard.  He tries to keep everything together and especially Santa.  The son and fathers relationship really improves through the father realizing he is Santa and the son actually wants to be with his father because he believes... review »

The Santa Claus is by far the best Christmas movie ever.  I love Tim Allen and this movie is just so cute and funny, that it is a must see.  It makes even non believers in Santa believe anything is possible.  Through out the movie Charlie believes his dad is Santa, but Santa doesn't believe he is Santa.  He puts on all kinds of weight, goes to the doctor and his heart is beating to a Christmas tune.  He finally accepts his fate and must convince others he's the real deal.  It's about a fathers love for his son and the sacrifices he will go to for him.  Love this movie.

The Santa Clause is a exciting and fun movie for all ages. I recently added the Santa Clause trilogy to my collection. My children love movies and they really love christmas movies!! Tim Allen is so funny, he just makes the whole movie when he becomes the new Santa. I think if you need a little Christmas spirit, you definately need to watch this show. I love watching the expressions on my childrens faces while they watch this movie. The Santa Clause is a wonderful film for the whole family, and spending time together are great memories that your children will hold close to their hearts always.... review »

The Santa Claus is a whimsical comedy, full of the true meaning of belief in all the good things of childhood and how wonderful it is to believe in love all throughout our life. This movie makes me laugh, cry, feel happy, feel love, feel all those feelings that may have been long forgotten. It made me realize I had to take time to remember all the wonderful things that were magical as I grew up. This movie left a good taste in my mouth and a warmth of fire in my heart. It is a great family movie for these present times. My family left wanting to see it again.

Santa Clause was a very good movie! It reminds people about what Christmas is realy about, love and family. It always puts me in the holiday spirit.I recommend that everyone watch and enjoy this movie!!! The whole family will love it!!!!!!!! The only thing that I didn't like about this movie was the mother's negative attitude about her son's belief in Santa. This movie will bring the entire family together for a wonderfull night of Christmas spirit. You should watch it and recommend it to your fanily and friends!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just loved this movie. It shows a lesson alot of people could learn from. You should always find time for your children. Tim Allen was great in the movie. The little boy had to learn secrets sometimes are better left as secrets. He was so proud that his Dad was the new Santa Claus. Tim Allen was so funny, like how he'd shave and the white bread would come back. He was having a hard time dealig with the fact he was getting fatter and fatter. And when all those boxes showed up with the nice and bad list.
