The Santa Clause 2
It’s almost Christmas again and the North Pole is busy at work finishing presents. Santa Claus/Scott played by Tim Allen will once again deliver those presents as long as he fulfills the second clause overlooked by the other elves. He needs to find a Mrs. Claus by Christmas or else he’s not Santa anymore. To complicate things, his son Charlie is misbehaving at school. So Scott goes down to fix both of his problems. It is here when he meets Principal Newman (Elizabeth Mitchell). Love and the Christmas spirit soon take its course and bring the two together on a joyous occasion. While Scott’s down on earth, his copy is wreaking havoc at the North Pole, who checked his list again and has deemed all the kids naughty. Can Scott come back, be married, and save Christmas for the world?

The holiday spirit is strong in this one and it’s just as good as the original. But I had the feeling it was all a bit overblown. Elves revolting against toy soldiers? Action scenes involving reindeer? It seemed a little bit unbelievable, even in a film based on mostly magic. I guess I was looking for a little authenticity instead of Allen making presents out of thin air. Especially after the music reminded me of Home Alone, which had a kid single-handedly saving Christmas from the bad guys. No magic involved, but those robbers were pretty dumb. Still, The Santa Clause 2 is enjoyable to watch, even now after Christmas. 3 stars
