Childhood favourite

It's kinda a guilty pleasure/childhood favourite of mine. Tim Allen is great and frequently wittier than the movie he's in, and the Santa-mocking turned Santa-embracing shtick the film (and Allen) does works pretty well. Of course, it's a Disney film, so... Full review

When a film my Dad thought was going to be really stupid turned out to be either really good or decent, he called it a surprise movie. The Santa Clause is just that. Looks totally stupid, but it really isn't. It's... Full review

DVD Town
The Santa Clause" is an example of good children's entertainment, good adult entertainment, and good family entertainment.....The sequel had neither the warmth nor the wit of the original, the characters unconvincing, and the action dumbed down.....As I've said before, the best children's movies are ones that appeal to adults as strongly as they do to kids.....No one is likely to confuse Tim Allen's acting talents with those of Pacino, Hoffman....It was good to get the movie a few years back in the clarity ...

DVD Talk
Summary: While this new 'Special Edition' of The Santa Clause certainly won't blow anyone looking for extras away, the DVD does boast a new transfer and a decent surround track. Parents looking for a great comedy to view with the kids over the holiday season may want to consider a purchase, though with the high MSRP, the disc may make a better seasonal rental. ...

Deseret News
The first half of "The Santa Clause" is often very funny, with Scott's wisecracks and some amusing physical comedy, but the second half has Scott's ex-wife and her husband attempting to take visitation rights away from him, and the film begins to wallow in sentiment as the laughs gradually go away. ...

Allen makes things equally pleasant for older audiences, especially when he's trying to deal with his new calling. "The Santa Clause" would be another formulaic Christmas special without Tim Allen. ... Full Review

Austin Chronicle
But, even in the "real" world of The Santa Clause, the jokes are mostly funny, the divorced parents stay happily divorced, and we're treated to yet another earnestly dopey performance by the endearing Judge Reinhold. Actually, this souped-up sled is a perfect vehicle for TV star/comedian Tim Allen and, despite its formulaic chassis, he takes us through a few interesting twists and turns. ... Full Review
