The Santa Clause



One of the best Christmas films made, Disney's "The Santa Clause" stars Tim Allen as a divorced businessman, Scott Calvin, who finds himself one Christmas Eve night as the new Santa Claus after the former one basically gave Scott the "mantle" after falling off the roof into the snow. At first Scott/Santa didn't believe it. Over the next year he went through trying times, but his son always believed in him and continually reminded him how important his job is. 

I grew up in a home where this was a must-see film by my mother every year around Christmas-time. It's a great classic with great acting and a great plot. Tim Allen executed well in portraying the development of Scott's character. Plus I liked the acting of those who played Scott's son, ex-wife, and his son's new father. The only small negatives about the movie are two crude words (ones I don't even notice). This film is rated PG. I recommend this film for all families.

I would give this film an overall 5-star rating!

The imdb.com summary for this film is:
When a man inadvertantly kills Santa on Christmas Eve, he finds himself magically recruited to take his place.
