To me, this movie is perfection.

The Age of Commercialism

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

BEWARE OF BOGUS REVIEWS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA. I AM VERY HONEST ABOUT THESE FILMS.I do not like Tim Allen as a person but I can put that aside and still enjoy this film. In this film Divorced dad Scott (Tim Allen) has custody of his son (Eric Lloyd) on Christmas Eve. After he accidentally kills a man in a Santa suit, they are magically transported to the North Pole, where an elf explains that Scott must take Santa's place before the next Christmas arrives. Scott thinks he's dreaming, but over the next several months he gains weight and grows an inexplicably white beard. Maybe that night at the North Pole wasn't a dream after all - - and maybe Scott has a lot of work to do.This film really works and works well, It is a modern tale about family and having faith in others even when they might not have it themselves! The laughs come very frequently and there is Charm to spare. I love this movie!

Ah Christmas films, the one kind of film that is always for the family and one's that when done right, the kind that kid and the adult can enjoy. The Santa Clause starring Tim Allen is a movie that starts off with a feeling that it hasn't got it right, it's going to be another movie that tries to be fun and sweet but all together falls off the rails. This movie however feels alright, it's funny at times and does have a sweet centre in fact even sometimes you feel for the characters which quite often in these type of movies they start to falter the more you see of them. The story see's Tim Allen's character Scott basically become Santa as he well knocks him off his roof and then puts on the suit meaning in the Santa "Clause" he is now the jolly red suited man. We then see Scott really become Santa, only his son knows he is Santa, everyone else thinks he is crazy, things transpire and the whole story comes to an exciting end.It's well done this movie I mean even from a technical point of view and even though maybe watching some years after it can look outdated, it nevertheless still looks pretty cool. One of the things I felt this movie nails is the whole look of this, it's bright and full of colour and the North Pole when it is seen is fantastically built and the extras make for a great effort to create a nice atmosphere. The movie can suffer in parts through one too many fart jokes and not all the jokes hit the mark, but the movie still suffices in the way it is mostly funny. Tim Allen does well in his role, at first comes across as unlikeable but as the plot grows he matures as a character brining with him fun and that jolly feeling you need from the lead of a Christmas movie. After directing this, John Pasquin continued to work with Tim Allen and you can see why, he gets the most out of Allen and really the cast too, it can at times feel like some kind of made for TV movie and the directing isn't brilliant, but Pasquin makes the most out of the script and the film all in all satisfies. The writers create a script that works very well for a family feel of a movie and they create a story that is a nice one to direct and act in, it feels as mentioned before very sweet and although never truly strikes the heart immensely, still leaves you feeling a little for the characters involved.It's schmaltzy in moments but ultimately rewarding for anyone who has a heart, don't expect too much from this and you could be pleasantly surprised by this. The movie spawned two sequels by the time of review in which really although it deserved a second film, it does work extremely well as a single piece and one that is nicely enjoyable for all. It's also very much a plot that doesn't feel that different to those you may see in other Christmas movies however really the whole reason this movie for me is OK and a reasonable watch is that it manages to make you laugh but also touches the part of you that secretly is still a kid.

"The Santa Clause" is about a name Scott Calvin who accidentally let Santa Claus to fall on his roof on Christmas Eve as he now takes over as the new Santa during the holiday season, and learns about what it takes to become Santa Claus as well as the spirit of Christmas. I don't how much I can say about this movie, but I will try on why I enjoy it. I thought that Tim Allen does an outstanding job as for both playing Scott Calvin, and for also playing Santa Claus. Moreover, I do thought Eric Lloyd does a fine job to play Charlie as well as the rest of the cast in this movie. The movie is very well written, which it does provides some really good laughs. The direction is very well directed, and I thought the sets that were design for the North Pole are really impressive. The special effects in this movie are okay, but I find some that are really dated such as some of the CG effects. The animatronics on the reindeers are really good, and I loved on how they were designed. This movie really does feature that good old Christmas spirit as you are watching it, and I too feel that spirit and it really is a great Christmas movie by Disney. I don't know if there are any more Christmas movies that are made by Disney aside from "The Santa Clauses" movies, but what do I know if there are any more Christmas movies. With that said, I also thought the movie works really good to not have a villain in it. Of course, the sequels do which I will get to but I never saw the third so I guess I won't be bother by talking about it. However, I will talk about the second movie which I thought was good too. Anyway, "The Santa Clause" is a great Christmas movie by Disney, and I say check it out! I give "The Santa Clause" a 9 out of 10.

Scott Calvin is played by Tim Allen in the Santa Claus films and he does that on a really classic and unforgettable way. The Santa Clause is about Scott Calvin who is a divorced business man and happens to be not very good at being father. The relationship with his son isn't very good but they have to spend Christmas together. But when Scott kills Santa accidentally everything is going to change for him.A lot of Christmas films have been made and a lot of times the role of Santa has been played but nobody ever captured that role as Time Allen did. He did very remarkable and very unforgettable job playing him. His acting is what makes this film partly so successful I think but also the scenes he has with his son on screen Eric Lloyd. The scenes between them father and Son are filmed really strong and is what makes the film good as well. For me Tim Allen will always be "Santa" it was a tradition for me at home to watch the Santa Claus films with the whole family on TV at Christmas every year. And I think it can truly be mentioned as one of the greatest Christmas films ever made.Of course with a Christmas movie you always wait for that special magical thing to happen. And the story really develops to that moment. When you, as an audience, see the home of Santa with the Elfs it gives you really as an adult a happy feeling. It truly has something magical and it doesn't get boring with every movie. I rate this film 8 out of 10; The story has been told brilliantly on screen, the performance of Tim Allen and Eric Lloyd was wonderful.
