The Santa Clause 1994

A great Christmas. After 15 years of being doubtful, I fully believe in Santa again.

He knows when you are sleeping...he knows when you touch down there...he knows when you been naughty so be good for goodness sake

Very original.

"Does this look like a little weight to you?!."

Now this is a classic. I fully understand that it is part of my nostaliga for the film, but I still absolutely love it. Tim Allen is so good as a non-believer who later gets with the program. If I ever have kids we will watch this every year.

A Christmas Eve tradition in our household for the past 20 years.

A fun Christmas movie. I try to watch it every holiday season.

I’ve not seen this film since childhood and it felt like a new film and it’s a great one from Tim Allen, with lots of heart, a sense of humour, a over all great Christmas film classics for the 90s

Man, Tim Allen's character can be a real dink sometimes, both to his kid and the people around him. Sure didn't notice that when I was a kid.

Very nostalgic to me; constantly reminded me of the old, worn out VHS tape someone in my family recorded off the A! Channel (the movie doesn't feel quite the same without the gaps for commercial breaks). Overall, it's really fun, but it doesn't shy away from getting serious.

I've been watching this movie every year almost since it's release, and it's still on my Christmas list.

Although, today while watching it, I think I noticed something I've never noticed before.
The Jingle Bells heartbeat made me laugh, I don't know how I've never noticed it in the 20ish times I've seen this movie.

Many people say this movie is bad, I however believe this is a great family Christmas movie. In my opinion, every child should see this at least once.

When the judge told Tim Allen to get his act together after his drug trafficking days were over, I bet he didn't expect this from the snitch.

Magical and fun. When the ex wife (Wendy Crewson) and her new psychiatrist husband (Judge Reinhold). Aren’t on screen nitpicking everything Scott (Tim Allen) does. It takes away some of magic.
I am especially not a fan of the middle part. Where Scott can’t help that he is becoming Santa. Everyone around him thinks he has mental issues and is a danger to his son.
Still its way more memorable than the sequels.The Disney Plus show is decent though.

A satisfactory Christmas film.

'The Santa Clause' starts off pretty strongly, with Tim Allen (Scott) showing off some quick and amusing wit. The early moments are actually the best parts in my opinion, the rest of the 97 minutes are enjoyable enough though.

Allen is easily the most standout part of the film, none of the other cast members really come close at all. Eric Lloyd does an alright job as Scott's son, Charlie. The festive music is pleasant, while the sets etc. look decent - the special effects aren't incredible, but are certainly serviceable.

Many better Xmas productions out there, but there's enough here to feel entertained by.

Tim Allen brings the comedy in Disney’s The Santa Clause, a good old-fashioned family film that puts a new spin on the Santa Claus tale for the ‘90s. After investigating a noise on his roof and causing Santa to fall, Scott Calvin puts on his suit and continues Santa’s mission; but little does he know that by doing so he fell victim to…The Santa Clause. There are laughs a plenty for all ages, though it does tend toward the children (as most Disney films do). And there’s some hokeyness to the plot, but if you can get passed that there’s a charming story here. While there’s a bit of silliness to it, The Santa Clause is a solidly entertaining film with heart.

It's definitely a flawed movie if you were hold it in high regards, but thanks to it's wonderful premise, comic timing, pretty good set design and Tim allen's role as jolly old St. Nick Himself. "The Santa Clause" manages to be a decent watch for anyone looking for good dose of Christmas Spirit.

IIt watched this movie for the first time in years and to be honest really enjoyed it. The plot is good and original for its time, it is funny to for adults and kids, and Tim Allen is good as Santa Claus/ Scott Calvin. Although the special effects are out of date if you look past that , overall this is a good family fun Christmas movie.

(7 out of 10)

The film is good for a couple of laughs and smiles. Nowadays it is often considered a Christmas classic.

A chick and family flick!
