Christmas Movie Review - The Santa Clause

In dealing with his son (along with his ex-wife and her husband played by Judge Reinhold) he begins to fall for his son's principal (played by Elizabeth Mitchell who is probably more famous now for her role in Lost).

Of course she accepts his proposal in the nick of time and he remains Santa Claus.

In the 3rd and final installment, Jack Frost (played by Martin Short is determined to undo Santa Claus and finds a way to turn the clock back to where Scott Calvin finds the red suit.  Instead, Jack grabs the suit and turns the North Pole into an amusement park.  Scott does find a way to reverse the damage and becomes Santa again.

Some notable things about these movies:  The Legendary Figures as they call themselves (Mother Nature, Father Time et al) are all played by very noteworthy actors.  Too bad they only appear briefly in the 2nd and 3rd movies.

I also found that the special effects when the first movie came out were quite good.  You would have believed that Tim Allen had actually gained a lot of weight to play the role of St. Nick.

So if you are looking for a few movies to watch during the holidays, consider the Santa Clause movies.
