Director: Joe Roth
Running Time: 98 minutes
US MPAA rating: PGUK BBFC rating: PG
Comedy, Drama
For some bizarre reason, Tim Allen seems desperate to corner the festive flick market. Perhaps it's because The Santa Clause has been his only real big-screen success outwith the CG confines of Buzz Lightyear. But even then, you'd think the flop that was the instantly-forgettable
It's Got: Botox, fake tan, and absolutely no need to buy a turkey.
It Needs: Someone to bundle the incessant carol singers into a large sack and throw them into a river.
Alternatives: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, The Santa Clause, Jingle All The Way
Summary: Hold onto that admission money and go spend it on a pressie for a loved one. Or, at the very least, spend it on seeing a decent movie.

| Holds close to the John Grisham book, and this is definitely a holiday classic. It's not an enduring, end-all holdiay comedy on the level of Christmas Vacation, but I could see myself watching it every year. The Frostys on the roof are hilarious. Definitely check this one out... |
