Better watch out! The big guy in red is coming to town once again.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Has there ever been a production company that seemed to care less about the quality of their output than Disney between the late 90s and early 2000s? The first Santa Clause is a funny and imaginative Christmas tale, but this thing is annoying, forced, ugly, and unnecessary. I even like Tim Allen, but I never wanna watch him play a giant sentient doll ever again.
Entertaining enough, I guess, if you've already started loading up on seasonal good will. I'm not sure this is what you want to start filling up with as it gets pretty sappy and kid-targeted humor is always a fail so it may leave you irritated rather than jolly. It does have some eye candy, a sprinkling of FX AND it does present a bit of funny. 7 may be over-stuffing the stocking here but, hey, I'm writing this in December and I don't want to be too naughty. This is watchable every 3 - 5 years, if you're loaded up on egg nog.
The second Santa Clause film is even better than the first film. This movie focuses on Tim Allen having to find a wife or he won't be able to stay Santa. The movie has all the same actors back, and they all do a great job, just like last time! There was a big time gap between the first and second one, 1994 to 2002, so Charlie's character has grown a good bit, he's now a teenager, that has been getting into trouble lately and is now on the naughty list 😱. This film's visuals are pretty cool to look at. And the script is pretty cute and fun. The characters are well written and work well together. Molly Shannon even makes a brief cameo, and it may just be my favorite part in the whole film, Molly does a fantastic job in her little scene, had me dying laughing! This is a cute, fun, totally family friendly Christmas movie that everyone will enjoy this Christmas! 8/10 for The Santa Clause.
It's the first time I've rated an IMDb movie with 10 stars and it's my first review just because this is a great, great movie and it still has such a poor rate (5.5) and it does not make any sense for me. I've read all the q&a about IMDb rating system and the weighting of rates, but I still think that the IMDb rating system is way off. I've seen so many good movies with poor rates on IMDb and it just makes the rating system useless. I hope somebody can fix this!P.S. Just because I don't have enough lines in my review to be approved, I have to add more lines :).. So, I've noticed that there are multiple (good) reviews without any ratings added. Do these reviews count as 0/10 stars? Maybe this is why the rating is so way off?
