A scathing critique of the commercialisation of Christmas (yes, I appreciate the irony of Disney making such a film) which is sillier than the two preceding films and not in a good way. But Martin Short as Jack Frost is a delightfully villainous Santa Clause wannabe.

Santa Clause 3 gains most of its positive points from Martin Short. He carries the movie beyond its pointless existence and into a world where a central villain can make an entire movie worthwhile. Tim Allen does fine, but overall this third in the franchise is totally forgettable. Martin Short is amazing and underrated, even here.

Setting the vast majority of the film at the North Pole kind of defeats the point of the franchise. I'd compare it to Terminator Salvation, which doesn't work because in Terminator we want to see time-traveling future robots interacting with modern people. In Santa Clause, we want to see an incongruous Santa out in normal society. Here he's just with his elves and reindeer and stuff. Thus the movie is dull.

There is nothing redeeming about this movie. Even in the middle of December, prime viewing time for this shit, I'd pick almost any other fucking Christmas movie. No, ANY other Christmas movie. I'd watch non-Christmas movies. The first film was clever and cute, while not being great. The second movie was absolute shit. This... I'm ashamed to say that I was dragged to the theater to see this as part of the trilogy, having watched the other two earlier in the day. Movie was still shit.

While Short is an entertaining addition, The Escape Clause is the weakest entry in The Santa Clause trilogy. While these films have always had the theme of commercialism versus family, this entry seems particularly lazy with it. Honestly, I didn't hate the film, but it's not good with poor dialogue, too much unnecessary overacting from the adults (save Allen & Short) and a plot that is trope that reeks of creative desperation.

The first Santa Clause carried a PG rating for some mild profanity and innuendo. Too bad. The second one scored a sweeter G, but soft-pedaled the impact of divorce on children and tossed in a few lines establishing Mother Nature as the supreme authority in the universe. Frustrating. Does the third installment come with a disclaimer? (pluggedin.com)

Once again, instead of making a tender, sweet, cute Christmas story, the writers continue to insult us with a moronic twisted plot and ridiculous dialog. I have to wonder who they are trying to entertain? This movie is another example of an excellent cast, with plenty of money for making a great movie, but instead it is just squandered away to make a pathetically sad comedy that fails to be funny, telling a twisted story even a child would dislike.
