The really nice thing about \u0022The Santa Clause\u0022 is that it takes its far-out premise all the way to a logical conclusion; there are no cheats or easy outs for Scott Calvin when the biggest job in the world is thrust upon him. Aided by excellent special effects, this likable guy has a slow, whimsical change into St. Nick -- persistent in a disbelieving world -- that is supernatural.\r\n\r\nFor a Disney fantasy, \u0022The Santa Clause\u0022 is forthright about divorce and its aftermath but doesn\u0027t dwell too much on the agony of a broken home. There\u0027s pathos enough just in the separation of Scott Calvin from a son who still looks up to him. Commendably, Charlie\u0027s new stepdad appears not as an ogre to be defeated but as an OK guy who lost his faith in Santa Claus because he never got the Oscar Meyer Wiener whistle he wanted at age 3 (does that foreshadow the ending or what?). Some parents may be disappointed that this movie overlooks the religious significance of Christmas in favor of present-giving and childhood wish-fulfillment, but the movie ends on an appropriate note of good will and reconciliation.", "reviewRating": { "@type": "Rating", "ratingValue": "3" } } ] }</script> <link rel="dns-prefetch" href="//fonts.googleapis.com" /> <link rel="dns-prefetch"

The original Santa Claus takes a fatal, accidental fall (yikes -- Santa dies!). Guns are drawn as Tim Allen's new "Santa" gets arrested by police. There are grown-up (and gross) jokes, and the movie deals with divorce and estrangement between a father and son. While the whole plot revolves around the idea of Santa being real, many characters talk about the fact that he might not be -- so this may not be the best fit for families looking to extend kids' belief in St. Nick. There is also some potty humor involving human and reindeer flatulence, as well as a vague reference to being on drugs in the 1960s.</p> <p>To stay in the loop on more movies like this, you can sign up for weekly <a class="link link--cta" href="/newsletters">Family Movie Night emails</a> .</p> </div> </li> <li class="slider__slide"> <div class=""> <h3>Violence & Scariness</h3> <div id="rating-1801514d-f3d7-4cb7-93b3-f35dc78d5b72" class="rating"> <span class="rating__score" role="img"> <i class="active"></i> <i class="icon-circle-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-circle-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-circle-solid"></i> <i class="icon-circle-solid"></i> <i class="icon-circle-solid"></i> </span> <span class="rating__teaser"> a little </span> </div> <p>The original Santa Claus takes a fatal, accidental pratfall.

There are some great messages, like believing is seeing, as oppose to seeing is believing. This movie also teaches adults not to doubt kids when they believe in something with all their heart. Adults tend to believe that when a kid tells them something that seems to be unrealistic, they immediately dismiss them and say that they’re wrong and they should drop the subject…when really the kid may be right. Evidence is gathered throughout this film about how the character Scott Calvin really is the new Santa Claus, even though Scott Calvin himself thinks for most of the film that all that happened the night of Christmas Eve was just a crazy dream. Meanwhile, Charlie is the kid who knows it all happened but Scott denies him and says that Santa is a fake. But what ultimately makes Scott believe that he is actually Santa is that he develops symptoms like Santa, like gaining fat and growing facial hair quickly. He ends up becoming the new Santa Claus and sees that Charlie may be a kid, but he was right and he was telling the truth. His wife and her new husband are no help because his wife just goes along with her new husband, who is a psychiatrist and says that there is no such thing as Santa Claus because is isn’t logical. This goes back to the message that believing is seeing, not seeing is believing. Charlie is a positive role model because although Scott Calvin doesn’t believe in the experience they had on Christmas Eve, Charlie believed in it all the way through. Some educational value includes children learning about what a “clause” is and what it means to abide by a contract once agreeing to it. Amongst all of this, violence includes the original Santa falling off a roof, leading to his death, and there is a crude moment in one scene, where Scott describes his experience with Charlie as having shots of brown liquor, cleaning shotguns, and looking at women. Also, the psychiatrist says that he stopped believing in Santa Claus when he was three because he did not get the weenie whistle he wished for, and Charlie’s mother says that she stopped believing when she didn’t get the board game she wished for called “Mystery Date”. Both gifts are not appropriate for kids, which is probably why they did not get them at the time they wished for them. They both get them at the end, and the psychiatrist proceeds to blow into the weenie whistle. Most of this crude humor might fly over kids’ heads, but it is all still something to watch out for. However, none of this is actually done, just described. I think it is good for kids and adults alike. </div> <button class="reveal__trigger link btn--reset" data-target="reveal-317573f0-dc92-49b1-a696-44adba409e4f">Show more</button> </div> </div> <div class="user-generated-content__reactions"> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="review-view-user-reviews-tab-item-footer row"> <div class="col-12 col-md"> <span class="user-login-modal-review-rate user-login-modal" id="user-login-modal-58efcf7b-bf83-4277-a3d8-8c80f25b474a"> <a class="btn--lg review-rate btn btn--block" data-id="50795" data-delta="2" data-text="Rate Movie" rel="nofollow" id="review-rate-50795-2"> </a> </span> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6"> <a class="link link--cta" href="/movie-reviews/the-santa-clause/user-reviews/adult">See all 30 parent reviews </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="tab-6a2c48d8-1e75-47ea-a52f-a37cea1cff671" class="tab__pane" role="tabpanel"> <div id="review-view-user-reviews-tab-item-child"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="review-view-box review-view-box--formatted"> <h2 id="plot-summary"> What's the Story? </h2> <div id="reveal-cd8ffb98-fe97-427e-a229-ada05c939912" class="reveal" data-more="Show more" data-less="Show less"> <div class="reveal__content collapse"> <p>It's Christmas Eve. Scott Calvin (<a href="/search/Tim%20Allen" title="Tim Allen">Tim Allen</a>), a toy company executive, collects his little son Charlie from his ex-wife. When Santa Claus arrives on his roof, Scott's shout startles Santa into a fatal fall. The body disappears, leaving only the famous red suit. Scott takes over the sleigh and reindeer, completing Santa's annual rounds. At the North Pole, elves tell Scott and Charlie that according to the "Santa Clause" Scott is now required by law to take on Santa's identity. After Charlie tells his mom and child-psychologist stepfather (<a href="/search/Judge%20Reinhold" title="Judge Reinhold">Judge Reinhold</a>), they're convinced that Charlie has been warped by his dad. Months pass and Scott transforms into Santa until court hearings decide that he's nuts and cut off his visitation rights. Another December 24 approaches, and Scott must convince his employers and ex that he's not crazy.</p> </div> <button class="reveal__trigger link link--cta btn--reset" data-target="reveal-cd8ffb98-fe97-427e-a229-ada05c939912">Show more</button> </div> </div> <div class="review-view-any-good review-view-box"> <h2 id="summary-review">Is It Any Good?</h2> <div class="ratings"> <div class="rating"> <span class="label"><strong>Our review:</strong></span> <span id="rating-7af781e1-4650-4836-acf7-b87f9f61cb6b" class="rating rating--inline"> <span class="rating__score" role="img"> <i class="active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid"></i> </span> </span> </div> <div class="rating rating--parents"> <span class="label"><strong>Parents say </strong><span class="count">(<a class="link" href="/movie-reviews/the-santa-clause/user-reviews/adult">30</a> ):</span></span> <span id="rating-ca3d4157-284a-406c-b86e-8e5946b359c0" class="rating rating--inline rating--user"> <span class="rating__score" role="img"> <i class="active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid"></i> </span> </span> </div> <div class="rating rating--kids"> <span class="label"><strong>Kids say </strong><span class="count">(<a class="link" href="/movie-reviews/the-santa-clause/user-reviews/child">28</a> ):</span></span> <span id="rating-69235f06-46c0-450c-9a1d-0994676a34b1" class="rating rating--inline rating--user"> <span class="rating__score" role="img"> <i class="active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid active"></i> <i class="icon-star-solid"></i> </span> </span> </div> </div> <div class="review-view-is-any-good-content formatted-text"> <div id="reveal-fd5eb153-a319-4c34-832e-6f7d1f0c0531" class="reveal" data-more="Show more" data-less="Show less"> <div class="reveal__content collapse"> <p>The jokes in this movie are just as funny for adults as for kids. The really nice thing about THE SANTA CLAUSE is that it takes its far-out premise all the way to a logical conclusion; there are no cheats or easy outs for Scott Calvin when the biggest job in the world is thrust upon him. Aided by excellent special effects, this likable guy has a slow, whimsical change into St. Nick -- persistent in a disbelieving world -- that is supernatural.</p> <p>For a Disney fantasy, <i>The Santa Clause</i> is forthright about divorce and its aftermath but doesn't dwell too much on the agony of a broken home. There's pathos enough just in the separation of Scott Calvin from a son who still looks up to him. Commendably, Charlie's new stepdad appears not as an ogre to be defeated but as an OK guy who lost his faith in Santa Claus because he never got the Oscar Meyer Wiener whistle he wanted at age 3 (does that foreshadow the ending or what?). Some parents may be disappointed that this movie overlooks the religious significance of Christmas in favor of present-giving and childhood wish-fulfillment, but the movie ends on an appropriate note of good will and reconciliation.</p> </div> <button class="reveal__trigger link link--cta btn--reset" data-target="reveal-fd5eb153-a319-4c34-832e-6f7d1f0c0531">Show more</button> </div> </div> </div> <div class="squiggle--bottom review-view-box review-view-box--formatted"> <h2 id="family-talk">Talk to Your Kids About ...</h2> <div id="reveal-0b4e2fc6-8ca0-4489-bf1c-9259b2a1a171" class="reveal" data-more="Show more" data-less="Show less"> <div class="reveal__content collapse"> <ul> <li><p>Families can talk about holiday movies.
