Believe....
There is a certain time every year where certain kinds of films get their yearly taken out and watched. When Christmas rolls around, there are several of these films that get to see the light of day again for a while. While "The Santa Clause" may not be "A Christmas Story" or "It's A Wonderful Life" to some people, it is still an incredibly fun and entertaining family classic for everyone. Tim Allen, who at this time was the king of the tube with "Home Improvement", stars as Scott Calvin. He is a divorcee with a son named Charlie(Eric Lloyd), and is an executive at a toy company. The holidays come around and Tim and Charlie have their yearly visit. It's no surprise that Scott doesn't especially care for Charlie's stepdad Neil(Judge Reinhold). That's another story. One night, Scott hears something on the roof and goes to investigate. He yells at the strange man who is on his roof. The man slips and falls and dies. He is Santa Claus. Scott refuses to believe it at first, but Charlie is excited as all get out. Scott takes over the reins for the night until a suitable replacement comes. Scott learns that he is the permanent replacement. He is swooped away to the north pole and meets all of the elves who fill him in on what is going on....and who he will be. Then, over the course of the year and into the next holiday season, Scott gradually changes. White hair and a belly that shakes like a bowl full of jelly take over Scott. He is now, truly, Santa Claus. This all causes Scott's ex wife(Wendy Crewson) and Neil, who is a psychiatrist by the way, to think Scott has lost his mind and is messing with Charlie's in the process. The reason this movie works is because of Tim Allen. Sure, you can have a number of people in the role, but Tim has such an endearing charm and likeability to him, that he makes the moment his. It's his movie and one can't think, or want, anyone else in the role. That has been his key to such popularity for all these years. He's like a best bud. Everybody else in the film do fine jobs, but it is Tim's movie, and they all blend into the background. The movie has a nice, warm, magical feel to it. Makes you want it to be Christmas. It's a by the numbers script, but I don't think anyone will care or mind that they can pretty much figure out what is going to happen. It's not about that. It's about make believe. It's about fantasy. It's about being a kid and finding that kid in all of us. It does the heart good.

Another Christmas Classic...
This movie, The Santa Clause of 1994 was a major hit when it came out. This is definately another movie to add to your Christmas collection. Tim Allen did an excellent job playing old St. Nick in this holiday classic. The movie is an all-time classic family movie. It's funny, loving and very joyful. It really gets you into the Christmas season.

The movie starts out at a company Christmas party where we meet Scott Calvin (Allen), a divorced father who is a toy company associate. It's Christmas Eve and it's his time to be with his son. His son Charlie (Lloyd) is a typical 8 year old who gets picked on for believing in Santa Claus. His ex-wife Laura (Crewson) and her second husband Neil (Reinhold) are trying somewhat to get Charlie out of believing in St. Nick, which of course Scott is totally against.

On Christmas Eve just after midnight Charlie wakes up after hearing Santa Claus on the roof. Scott goes outside to see who's up there and Santa FALLS OFF THE ROOF! Now there is no Santa! So Charlie convinces his dad to play Santa for the night. Scott plays along with it and is no match for the real Santa. He has a problem staying quiet. Dogs bark at him, guns and alarms go off, he breaks things, knocks down Christmas trees, etc.

Now after he completes Santa's job, he starts to turn into Santa. He gains weight, his hair turns white, and he grows a beard. The funny thing is, whenever he shaves, the hair instantly grows backs. Now, Laura and Neil notice this and they think Scott is doing this purposely to make Charlie like him. So they go to court to end his visitation rights. Now that Christmas is only a month away, he has to face reality and realize HE IS SANTA and that he has a job to do. To help him face his responsibility, Charlie along with the elves are there to help him get ready for the big night.

This movie is another Christmas classic that the whole family can enjoy. It's very heartwarming and loving. Buy this movie and you along with you're kids won't be disapointed. Merry Christmas!! Ho, Ho, Ho!!

Good Yuletide fun!
There are some films that just have to be watched every Christmas and this is one of them. It is a feelgood film for a feelgood time of year.
The story is simple. Scott Calvin (note his initials) is a divorced father who frequently lets his young son down due to his busy working life. That is until he accidentally kills Santa Claus. To his disbelief and dismay, and his sons delight, he has to become the new Santa. The film follows his changing life and attitudes and shows the newly developing relationship between father and son.
There is nothing taxing or complex about this movie, just a heart-warming, funny story that is ideal for all the family. Watch and enjoy.
