Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

adonis98-743-186503 Scott Calvin has been a humble Santa Claus for nearly ten years, but it might come to an end if he doesn't find a Mrs. Claus. The Santa Clause 2 is nowhere near as good as the first in my opinion but it's not a bad sequel either i really liked the fact that the original cast returned once more and some new characters such as Elizabeth Mitchell as Carol A.k.a Mrs Santa and some certain scenes like when Tim Allen made many grown men and women feel like children again with toys that they never got or even the very end made the film really good for me. It does have issues tho for example i didn't like the fact that they went to a more dramatic territory with this one like Charlie being on the naughty list and sometimes the film gets a bit goofy but then again it's a film about a guy that is Santa Claus and gives gifts to children so it makes sense but overall those are really small problems because this movie was really good and pretty funny for the whole Family.

jljacobi Okay, it's kind of dumb, and some of the shtick is old-hat, but it does have heart. At least I saw it that way. Take this with a grain of salt as I was able to FF through some of the stuff I found pedantic. That includes almost all the scenes that deal with teen angst, children of divorce, yada, yada... I don't know why it's there to be honest. It's just a anchor on the pace. What does work is everything else, and I found the actors appealing as well as displaying genuine warmth throughout. Good enough for me. I don't care what others say, Tim Allen is just fun to watch.This is a kids flick, but I like kid's flicks because... Well, I'm not sure why. Excepting the obligatory scatological humor. There's not much of it so, there you go. I think this movie is rated way too low, so don't let that put you off. It's entertaining and there's not much that will offend anyone. It's not 'A Christmas Story', but it's a decent little Christmas flick.

gavin6942 Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) has been a humble Santa Claus for nearly ten years, but it might come to an end if he does not find a Mrs. Claus.Rotten Tomatoes sums this film up as "predictable and forgettable". I suppose it is predictable, but not really any more than the first one. Forgettable? Maybe, maybe not. I thought the toy Santa was a great character, and bringing in Father Time and the others was a nice touch, if a bit silly.If I had any real problem with the film, it was the romance part. I understand he has a limited time to woo a woman, but to basically bribe someone into loving you, and then falling in love and getting married within a day or two? Not unheard of, but certainly not the safest foundation with which to build a future.This film comes across as even better once you have seen the third installment, which is more or less universally accepted as the worst.

gwnightscream Tim Allen, Elizabeth Mitchell, Eric Lloyd, Judge Reinhold, Wendy Crewson, Liliana Mumy, Spencer Breslin, David Krumholtz, Art LaFleur and Peter Boyle star in this 2002 comedy sequel. Scott Calvin/Santa Claus (Allen) learns that his son, Charlie (Lloyd) is acting up at school. That's not all, he also learns that he must find a wife before Christmas Eve or he'll stop being Santa. He gets a clone of himself created called, Toy Santa (Allen) by Bernard (Krumholtz) and new elf, Curtis (Breslin) and it soon becomes bad. Scott returns to see Charlie, Laura (Crewson), Neil (Reinhold) and their daughter, Lucy (Mumy) informing them of his problem. Scott realizes that Charlie is acting up because he can't tell anyone his father is Santa. Scott meets Charlie's principal, Carol Newman (Mitchell) and they start falling for each other. Carol eventually learns the truth about Scott and tries to understand. Scott must also stop Toy Santa from taking over the North Pole and delivering coal to all the children of the world. LaFleur plays the tooth fairy and Boyle plays Father Time. This is a pretty good sequel, Allen & the cast are great and there's neat effects. I recommend this.
