Justin S Christmas Classic! Love this movie Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Audience Member 30 years later and this is still a heartwarming, magical holiday flick Tim Allen came off of 'Home Improvement so it was a big risk for him to take on a leading role in a feature film coupled with the fact that he had a criminal record the movie still manages to bring a lot of the great Christmas feel good joy to viewers, it delivers some funny jokes for adults and kids, and testing everyone's belief system whether or not to let their inner child show again Scott Calvin is divorced and switches in between custody of his son, Charlie with his ex-wife and her boyfriend Neal during Christmas Charlie tries to tell his father that Santa is on their roof but when Scott checks it out this Santa falls off the roof and now the job is passed over to him against his better judgment Scott and Charlie are whisked away to the North Pole, are introduced to the elves, the reindeer and the 'clause' of being Santa is explained by head elf Bernard but for Scott personally he doesn't want to believe in the possibility of magic existing when it comes to Christmas having the job now he begins to change physically thereby losing his job, his son, and the love of the season as time goes on he knows he can't let down millions of children that are counting on him. he doesn't want to be selfish when it comes to having Charlie, and he truly wants to accept the season of giving certain elements of the film are difficult to get off the ground like not exploring enough of the North Pole and it takes a while for Allen to actually dress up as Santa but he has a lot of charm and likability to carry everything it's refreshing to see the elves played by child actors for a change, too it is very true that at some point when we grow up we start losing our faith in the Christmas spirit therefore stop believing in Santa Claus, it's all about believing, not seeing, it takes one person to ruin the holiday spirit for everyone but it can still be salvaged this is still a great 90's classic I enjoy very much; Allen is amazing, the holiday vibe is soothing, the comedy is well-written, and it awakens the inner child in us all when it comes to Christmas Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review David R Three decades later it still holds up well. I can’t wait to watch it with my niece. Watching it now, the whole thing with the custody of the kid and his parents are separated and there’s this whole riff in the family; it’s kind of a heavy theme. But I remember watching it as a kid and not realizing how much that affected the adults. Also it helped that Charlie really seemed to love his mom and dad regardless of the situation and was making the best of it. Then at the end to have everyone reconcile their differences and realize he really is Santa was pretty good. It’s very heart warming and real for a movie about Santa Clause Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Reed H A Cinematic Masterpiece, a Christmas movie you must see, Tim Allen plays Santa clause in this movie it is truly a classic. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Dale R A divorced father puts on Santa’s suit and must become the new Santa before the next Christmas. I enjoy Tim Allen and the characters he portrays and this movie is really his. Allen does a good job developing his character and playing opposite Eric Lloyd, who plays his son. I do enjoy what the family dynamic becomes at the end of the movie. I also liked the idea that the elves are played by children. That brought a uniqueness to this movies’ take on the north pole. Some of the story elements, like the elf rescue team, are a bit silly. But, for a film aimed at children they do work. This movie is worth a watch!
