6/10. Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) has been Santa Claus for the past eight years, and his loyal elves consider him the best Santa ever. But Santa's got problems (he's even mysteriously losing weight) and things quickly go south when he finds out that his son, Charlie, has landed on this year's "naughty" list. Desperate to help his son, Scott heads back home, leaving a substitute Claus to watch over things at the Pole. But when the substitute institutes some strange redefinitions of naughty and nice, putting Christmas at risk, it's up to Scott to return with a new bag of magic to try to save Christmas.
I found this movie to be funny, but the kind of funny that wouldn't last long at my level. Tim Allen was funny, and when I looked him up on imdb.com, it dawned on me that he hasn't really been in too many movies. I was completely and utterly surprised at that. Elizabeth Mitchell as the principal was looking pretty good, but then her quality dropped off. The Santa clone was annoying after awhile and took his power to heart.
The special effects were fine in the movie definitely not something to win an Academy Award as we all know. The plot was fine for a kid movie and I felt enjoyed for my 100 minutes. See this movie if you have kids, and don't mind sitting down for a couple laughs.
