If you’ve seen the other two ‘Santa Clause’ movies then you’ll want to check this one out as it does round the trilogy out sufficiently. However, as a whole, it’s completely unnecessary. Some parts of it I myself (17 years of age) found rather creepy even. The problem is the franchise has been done to death.
Tim Allen does the same thing he always does in these movies, fall down and get hit with things whilst trying to win the love of someone or other, and he does it rather well. Martin Short as Jack Frost (who wants to become Santa Clause and have all the fame and fortune he enjoys) however, is this movie’s saving grace. I really love the spikey-haired oddity he portrayed, it’s a shame the rest of the cast couldn’t keep up. (On a side note, those who’ve seen the other two ‘Santa Clause’ movies, Bernard the Head Elf is gone and replaced with a whiney kid, which really disappointed me.)
Fair enough special effects.
Some very rude reindeer with gas problems…..nothing major though.
