Christmas movies are a bizarre genre and it seems that the most reasonable way to judge them is in terms of their ability to induce festive feelings. This film succeeds in doing do so (for me at least) and in the process it is sentimental, sincere, funny and importantly avoids becoming saccharine (but does get perilously close with the 'kid'). I think Allen is a most likeable Santa Clause and you cannot dislike Reinhold as the surrogate father.

Serviceable Christmas movie for the whole family. Tim Allen fits the part and it was nice to see Judge Reinhold outside Beverly Hills Cop franchise (or Ridgemont High) - although he has a very ungrateful role. It doesn't quite utilize it's concept and feels more of a warm-up.

The cynic in me would describe The Santa Clause ( at least the 1st half) as a Republican's wet dream of dehumanising foreign children to justify institutional child labour. That said, it's actually a decent Xmas thanks to Lloyd's earnestness and Allen's sarcasm. While the film has some questionable logic and ethics, it's simple, fun and refreshingly (for 2020) straight-forward.

This is cute for its first act, but it fizzles like the dickens thereafter, which is perplexing because the whole crutch this film’s comedic premise rests on is “look at ol’ surly Tim Allen turn into Santa Clause”—and it’s just fat jokes from colleagues and disturbed despair from family. Ha ha?
