On Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and Vixen! On Comet, Cupid, Donder and Blitzen! On Chet! Yes - Chet. Remember - Seeing isn't believing. Believing is seeing.

It simply feels like a marketing opportunity, without the sincerity and genuine warmth the Christmas season represents.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 5, 2019

Sure, it's cotton candy movie making with a totally predictable outcome. If you want a cranky Christmas, there's always Bad Santa. It's also not as funny as the original, but it's still entertaining.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 5, 2019

Sweet? Yes. Sentimental? You bet. But like all the best Christmas pictures, this doesn't let the schmaltz swamp the wit or the charm - and has a sledload of both.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 5, 2019

Despite the obviously mercenary nature of this sequel, there's a thimbleful of clever ideas at work here, most notably in the way Allen's RoboSanta begins to turn his toy factory into a tiny dictatorship.

A rancid Christmas. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 5, 2019

I loved Tim Allen in The Santa Clause. It was a perfect match for his self-effacing humor. And he's even better in Santa Clause 2.

This one deserves a "bah humbug."

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 29, 2010

Sitcom-level predictability and treacle.

...more of a high-tech extravaganza than a touching fantasy.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 13, 2003

Fun for those for whom Hogwarts or Middle Earth are a little too tiring or scary, a cinematic lump of coal for everyone else.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 18, 2003

Amazingly, the film juggles all the elements well without being messy, instead playing fair and tying up all the loose ends.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 27, 2003

The Santa Clause 2 is chock full of heartwarming holiday cheer.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 17, 2003

...stocks itself with unoriginal and cheap slapstick violence, cloying performances and ridiculously forced sight gags and smirking jokes that wouldn't melt a snow flake on a Sears hotplate

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 10, 2003
