The strong emotion I felt was watching poor Alan Arkin, one of my most favorite movie actors of all time, drudge through this thing like a marathon runner who's just dying to get to the end.

A Fun Holiday Film for the Family....The story isn't bad really, not bad for a family movie for the holidays.....Martin Short is great as the deceptive, underhanded and annoying Jack Frost..... ... Full Review

while the latter, The Santa Clause 3, has a more endearing....The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause is indeed wholesome.....TheSanta Clause 3 is also far better than The Santa Clause 2.....It is this advantageous (might I add wise) change in tone that permits The Santa Clause 3 to be a refreshing, soul-enriching, wholesome delight.....Though The Santa Claude 3 is the perfect follow-up to The Santa Clause 2, the former has a trendily edgy conflict and dilemma.... ...
