Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
clock_me I waited so long to see the last santa clause movie because i loved the first 2 all so much after waiting 11 years i decided to sit back and enjoy since it was the holidays and very happy I did it brought back all my favorite characters well except Bernard but you really don't notice my only problem was thee animated reindeer a little bit annoying I'm happy that it spent most of it at the north pole unlike number 2 it had more humor and added a few new characters like jack frost and Alan Arkin who made this film extra special now the plot isn't anything knew and you can guess whats coming in the first 15 to 20 min but it has a great meaning when the end comes now The and Lucy made me smile every time she came on to the screen really the best part of the movie and now one ot anyone could ever have played santa like Tim AllenI recommend this to anyone who loves the santa calus you wont be dissapointed
edwbur this movie was a masterpiece. this a great movie with great actors and great acting. i don't understand why critics did not like this movie. what is there not to like. well except that the in laws came. but at least they had good actors playin as them. now at times they did get annoying and how could they not know they were not in canada. other than that it was very good. what i don't get is how the first santa clause could get good reviews and this one got bad. the first one bad. the second one was a classic Christmas film. one of the greatest and the third was just the same as the second. also i think that this movie should of had bernard. curtis did not fit as head elf in this movie. other that that good job on this one. great ending to a great movie series.
Kristine A. Phillips This installment doesn't quite live up to the first two, however, it's my 6-year-old daughter's favorite of the three ... so, go figure? My favorite happens to be "The Santa Clause 2," because of the romance aspect, plus young Lucy is adorable and it was neat to see Charlie 8 years later.Martin Short is great as Jack Frost, it's a real treat to see Ann-Margret and Alan Arkin as Carol's parents and it's great seeing all the originals from the first two films back for the third (a rare feat in Hollywood).The overall trilogy is absolutely great and fun for the entire family to watch, plus all the extras on the DVDs are a lot of fun, too.
avalonlove_love We saw this years ago on DVD and it has got to be the worst of the entire franchise it IS the worst! Basically Santas wife Mrs Clause is about to have a baby yadda yadda yadda Jack Frost comes into the picture there's a horrible It's A Wonderful Life ripoff where he sees what it would be like if he was not Santa Claus.The entire movie was abysmal boring like getting your teeth drilled without the novocaine basically. I understand that Christmas movies are normally heart-warming sweet and touching.But seriously this movie was TOO sweet it made me gag through most of it it was like being bombarded by gumdrops and cotton candy as it devoured me.The acting was awful everyone involved the ending was as stupid and cutesy as it could possibly get .Ugh even writing about this travesty of a Christmas movie makes me gag .I had such high expectations for the third one too and it let me down big time.My entire family was bored to death my mom even fell asleep during it so did my dad.Tim Allen looked angry bitter and bored throughout the entire movie the kids were extremely grating and couldn't act at all especially that red haired girl who played his niece in the film.It stinks I can't give this less then 1-star but since I can't this will have to do even though it deserves a -10.Oh and pay attention throughout the movie there is absolutely no chemistry with anyone just forced unfunny stale boring deliveries over and over again. The reindeer fart jokes by the way NOT FUNNY talk about lame .
