As young children, mostly everyone believes in Santa Claus and wants to be part of the Christmas magic he represents.  On Christmas day, children all over the world wake up and rush to see what Santa Claus brought.

“The Santa Clause” is a movie that will bring your childhood dreams back to life and will make you want to be at the North Pole. Director John Pasquin artfully brings to life the full magic of Christmas time as Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) accidently causes Saint Nick to slip on a cold, icy roof and plummet to the ground.  With this action, Scott finds a peculiar card that that he now has the job of being Saint Nicholas and delivering presents to every little boy and girl across the world.

Tim Allen brings to life Scott Calvin as he grudgingly accepts the job and conquers the challenges on the way.  Special effects bring to life the movie as you slowly watch the changes from a skinny businessman to white bearded large man in a bright red suite.   The special effects are so realistic you can visibly see the beard growing right before your eyes.

The Christmas time excitement and feeling radiate from this movie as you think back to your youth and remember childhood experiences. The plot is easy to follow and is never confusing or outrageous and won’t cause a mid-life crisis with conspiracy theories.

The movie overall is good, but is somewhat predictable and can be boring at some points.  “The Santa Clause” is a good holiday movie that will bring Christmas to life.
