Tim Allen, the actor who plays Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story, now plays a man who is turning into Santa Claus. Tim Allen really filled out for the role, growing about five feet from when he played Buzz Lightyear.
Overall the movie seems quite good although every elf in that movie was excessively annoying. Do I reccomend it? If you like a giant Buzz then you should find this movie a blast!

A nice little christmas movie with Tim Allen on entertaining form, very easy going film with some good moments to keep the family quiet(ish) for 90 minutes...

Nowhere near on par with some of my favourite Christmas films but still a must watch every Christmas. Judge Reinhold steals the show for me on this one!

Film #41 of The December Project and Day #17 of The Letterboxd Advent Calendar.
You know those films you watch multiple times as a child and enjoy, but then when you're older you throw it on and find that it's not as fun as it was when you were a kid?
Well, Tim Allen and The Santa Clause pretty much encapsulate that feeling.

I only watched this for the first time last year and viewing again this year I loved it just as much. A modern day classic for me

A great family holiday movie! Tim Allen plays his part brilliantly. Great make up effects as they transform Allen into a very believable fat man!! Fun from start to finish.. Who hasn't wished their dad was Santa??

Watching THE SANTA CLAUSE while napping. Charlie is the worst. Also, the Dr., "If it bothers you, you can dye it, and you should DIET!" Man.

"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! When I wake up I'm gonna have a CAT Scan"
Still good after all this time. Adds a bit of fresh thinking and a slightly more believe-able dimension to the typical Santa Claus film. Tim the tool-man-Taylor is perfect for this role with his cheesy but witty lines.

This movie is my childhood. I watch it every year at Christmastime.
