Amazon.co.uk Review
Tim Allen makes an impressive screen debut in Disney's well-written seasonal film The Santa Clause. Divorced toy company executive Scott Calvin is pleased to have his son Charlie for Christmas, though the boy himself isn't happy about it. But when Santa Claus accidentally topples off the roof of the house and falls with a thud in the snow, Scott finds himself taking the merry old elf's place and earning new respect in his son's eyes. When the night ends, the reindeer take them to the North Pole, and Scott discovers that by donning the fabled red suit, he's inadvertently agreed to become the next Santa Claus. It's an enjoyable, straightforward family film, anchored by the affable charisma of Allen.--Bret Fetzer

Considering how lame a sequel it could have been, The Santa Clause 2 makes for a pleasant seasonal 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. According to the "Missus Clause" in his North Pole contract, he can't continue to be the real Santa until he gets married. 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

Synopsis
In 'The Santa Clause', when Santa Claus falls from Scott Calvin's roof, his 'emergency card' instructs Scott to take his place. When Scott puts on the Santa suit, he takes on all the responsibilities of the job. In 'Santa Clause 2', after eight years of being Father Christmas, Scott Calvin, discovers that he must find a Mrs Claus, unfortunately this proves to be quite a difficult task.

Santa Clause
Very good and enjoyed it a lot when I saw it, although after watching it 2 or 3 times got a bit bored. Obviously only suitable when seasonal, but otherwise a great Christmas movie for kids.

Excellent family movies
Brilliant fun for the whole family to watch at any time of year...makes you start to edit your personal wish list in your head and drop a few hints for next christmas

Santa Claus'e
This is the best feelgood movie for Christmas.In the first movie you find out how Tim Allen becomes santa and in number 2 the very funny second clause is revealed,you can say the second movies in a set of stories is never any good but this is even better than the 1st.Watch it with your kids or even better without them its great for adults too.A very recommended Movie
