Santa slips and falls
This Christmas picture has Scott Calvin, played by Tim Allen, as a divorced dad trying to find time to spend with his son, Charlie. On Christmas Eve Charlie hears a clatter on the roof and as Scott goes out to check, with club in hand, Santa slips and falls off the roof. Scott tries to find out who the man is and stumbles on to his business card that has nothing on it except "Santa Clause." By taking Santa's suit Scott has agreed to become the next Santa Clause and the fun begins. Before the night is over Scott and Charlie have completed delivering the Christmas gifts and visit the North Pole.

There is also a lot of humor in the film that might not be caught the first time:
1) We find out that Santa is now lactose intolerant,
2) Scott is constantly worried about how to keep Santa from falling off the roof

Wonderful holiday film! Good for all ages!

A New Holiday Classic
Scott Calvin just wanted to get some more sleep that fateful Christmas Eve. Instead, he finds himself in Santa's sleigh finishing up the deliveries after Santa slips off his roof. That's when he learns the truth, he now is Santa. With only his son to guide him, he must accept his new life in time for the holiday next year.

This is a wonderfully fun movie. Tim Allen gives a great performance, as does the entire cast. The jokes are frequent and right on target for a story of a normal man becoming a legend most people don't believe in. I've added this movie to my list of required holiday viewing and look forward to it each year.

The 5 star rating is in spite of this DVD, however. Don't get me wrong, the picture and sound are great. It's the features that I find disappointing. Billed as a special edition, it has a few features that kids might enjoy once, and that's it. There are no behind the scenes/making of features, no commentary, and they don't even have the theatrical trailer. There is a fun feature hidden at the end of the trivia game, but getting there is so annoying that it's almost not worth it.

If you haven't seen this film, you're missing a real treat. Get it today to enjoy during the holiday season. Just be forewarned that this is the special edition that wasn't.

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.
