Christmas movies that strange breed, especially of the modern variety, where they seem to have to aimed at children exclusively (with no regard for the adults who more often than not have to sit through the films with the children. Or maybe it is a reflection on modern society where films are put on the DVD player to keep children amused whilst their parents are doing other things) so much for the movie that appeals to the whole family. Saying that I was pleasantly surprised by Santa Clause 2 and though I would not choose to watch this film again alone I would definitely view it with children and would recommend it to parents who want to watch a movie with their children.
The basic premise of the film is that Santa (Tim Allen) had to find a wife or face no longer being able to be Santa. The film has all the normal moral obstacles for the greater good along the way that you expect but still manages to be enjoyable.
The cast cope well with roles that are frankly not very demanding, with some solid supporting characters that help flesh out the movie.
In the end by no means is this a classic but you could do a lot worse that this. Me I would try and introduce my children to 'It's a Wonderful Life'
