This movie is one of my absolute favorite holiday movies to watch…over and over again! The Santa Clause is a timeless classic that families can still enjoy, even 15 years after it was released. Tim Allen is in his element with his witty one-liners and clean family fun entertainment!
Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) is a divorced bachelor in charge of his son, Charlie, played by Eric Lloyd. Scott realizes that his ex-wife, Laura (Wendy Crewson) and her new husband, Neil, (Judge Reinhold) informed Charlie that Santa Clause is not real, but more of a “idea than a real person.” On Christmas Eve, Charlie hears a “clatter” from the rooftop and wakes up his father. Scott and Charlie discovers Santa on the roof – but when Scott yells at this strange man, Santa falls and 
disappears, leaving only his suit, sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer. The two unexpectedly deliver presents throughout Christmas Eve and return back to the North Pole. The head elf, Bernard, (David Krumholtz) and the rest of the elves try to convince Scott he is now the new Santa, but Scott goes on believing that this is all a hallucinated dream. As the months progress, Scott becomes more and more “Santa-like” and soon begins to look and feel more like the big jolly man, himself. Come Christmas Eve of next year, Scott discovers his new calling and it’s up to him to continue the spirit of Christmas!
The Santa Clause is a timeless film that families can enjoy every Christmas season! It never gets old. Tim Allen was made for this film and makes The Santa Clause what it is. I will say- I am slightly disappointed in the sequels that follow BUT that’s a whole different review! This film deserves 4.5 stars- and let me explain. The only downfall is that the graphics are pretty bad, but what can you expect from 1994. (Not that 1994 was a bad year!) The Santa Clause is a movie to always enjoy and one thing’s for sure- I DO BELIEVE IN SANTA!
“Who’s this?”
“Wetkjsgk Dellkdfg…this is my son Charlie.”
I can honestly say that I watch this movie year round. As an adult, all the parts between Christmases are hilarious. The time spent at the North Pole and delivering presents is a lot more kid friendly.
