Favourite bit: the bloopers during the end credits.

Tim Allen's back again in this fun festive treat! With Martin Short as Jack Frost who wants to take over christmas from the big guy, Santa Clause 3 makes for ace family viewing. With Alan Arkin & Judge Reinhold.

The "epic" end of the trilogy? I actually liked this one better than part 2. Jack Frost gives the film a real villain and was a slight twist from the previous offerings..

This plot is just awful, made for television. They really should and could have went elsewhere with this. Maybe Santa dealing with kids who don't want presents, but want to not be sick anymore, who want their parents to get back together, to not be…
