The Santa Clause 2 - The Mrs. Clause (Widescreen Edition)

Starring:Tim Allen, Elizabeth Mitchell
Studio: Walt Disney Video
Product Type: DVD
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Considering how lame this sequel could have been, The Santa Clause 2 makes for a pleasant holiday diversion. It's got the familiar smell of Disney marketeering, and more than a few parents will object to this further embellishment of the St. Nick legend, but Tim Allen's amiable presence provides ample compensation. As a divorced dad who inherited the jolly man's job in The Santa Clause, Allen now faces another Yuletide challenge. According to the "Missus Clause" in his North Pole contract, he can't continue to be the real Santa until he gets married. As luck and five credited screenwriters would have it, Allen falls for the Scrooge-y principal (Elizabeth Mitchell) of his son's school, while a phony, power-hungry duplicate Santa wreaks havoc on the North Pole's overworked elves. It's all as sweet as spiced eggnog, with that warmed-over feel of a mandated sequel, but the Christmas spirit does prevail with the sound of sleigh bells and Allen's rosy-cheeked ho, ho, ho! --Jeff Shannon

AWESOME.......2007-06-28
Wow, we just LOVE the Santa Clause movies. All 3 of them! Tim Allen is such a great actor and my kids adore him. My kids are 6 and 9 and they love all 3 of these movies and will watch them year round. We always sit as a family to watch them every December as well.
The big guy has to get married.......2007-06-12
Scott Calvin is now the big guy. His son is on the naughty list.
Good fun.......2007-01-12
I just love all the Santa Clause movies and this may be my favorite!
I am not sure what you are asking........2007-01-11
I am not sure what you are asking. You want a review of this item. It was a movie. Do I review the movie? If I do, then it was a great movie that my grandchildren enjoyed on Christmas Eve day along with the rest of my family. It was a wonderful family movie which I am sure we will watch again and again.
Santa Wants a Wife for Christmas.......2007-01-08
Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) has settled into his new role as Santa Claus. In fact, he loves it. And kids the world over have never been happier.
Unfortunately, this Christmas Scott's hit a couple snags. First, his son Charlie (Eric Lloyd) is acting up. In fact, after he's caught spray painting the school, he winds up on Santa's naughty list.
Even more pressing, elf Curtis (Spencer Breslin) has discovered another clause. It seems Santa needs a Mrs. Claus or he will stop being Santa. In fact, he's already loosing weight and returning to his original form. If he isn't married by Christmas, he'll cease being Santa forever.
Naturally, the month before Christmas is the busiest time of the year for Santa and the elves. So he leaves behind a robot duplicate of himself and heads to his ex-wife's house. He hopes to reconnect with Charlie and find someone willing to marry him. So why is the first person to catch his eye the Christmas hating principal of Charlie's school (Elizabeth Mitchell)? Will it work, or is Scott doomed to cease being Santa forever?
The first movie is one of my favorite Christmas films. In fact, I watch it every year. While this sequel doesn't capture all the charm of the original, this is still a fun movie. It's nice seeing the entire cast of the first movie back, and they do a good job. The climax is funny and sweet. And the special effects are wonderful.
This sequel is just a step down from the original. It's not a must watch, but if I have the time I enjoy it.
