Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Considering how lame this sequel could have been, The Santa Clause 2 makes for a pleasant seasonal diversion. It's got the familiar smell of Disney marketeering, and more than a few parents will object to this further embellishment of the St Nick legend, but Tim Allen's amiable presence provides ample compensation. As a divorced dad who inherited the jolly man's job in The Santa Clause, Allen now faces another Yuletide challenge. According to the "Missus Clause" in his North Pole contract, he can't continue to be the real Santa until he gets married. As luck and five credited screenwriters would have it, Allen falls for the Scroogey principal (Elizabeth Mitchell) of his son's school, while a phoney, power-hungry duplicate Santa wreaks havoc on the North Pole's overworked elves. It's all as sweet as spiced eggnog, with that warmed-over feel of a mandated sequel, but the Christmas spirit does prevail with the sound of sleigh bells and Allen's rosy-cheeked "Ho, ho, ho!". --Jeff Shannon
Video Description
Tim Allen returns as everybody’s favourite modern-day Santa in The Santa Clause 2. Scott Calvin (Allen) has been Santa Claus for the past eight years and his loyal elves consider him to be the best one ever. But Santa’s world is turned upside down when his son Charlie lands on this year’s "naughty" list and Scott discovers that if he doesn’t marry by Christmas Eve – just a month away – he’ll stop being Santa forever. Embracing Christmas with all its heart, warmth and adventure, The Santa Clause 2 is the perfect holiday classic for the entire family.

In "The Santa Clause 2," Tim Allen discovers after eight years of being Santa that there's another small detail in his contract: In order for him to continue being the Jolly Old Elf, he's got to take a wife.
But first he has to deal with his son, Charlie (Eric Lloyd), who's landed himself on the naughty list. Charlie's principal (Elizabeth Mitchell) wants him gone pronto and is a bit blue because the holidays don't mean as much to her as they once did.
With 28 days to go before the contract expires, Santa's got a lot of work to do. One of his trusty elves comes up with a machine that can duplicate Santa while he's out in the real world hunting for a wife.
Unfortunately, the duplicate takes the Santa Handbook too literally and endangers the very meaning of Christmas. It's up to Santa to rescue the holidays, if possible with a wife in tow.
Allen is remarkable playing Santa as funny, wise and sympathetic, all at the same time. Even a 4-year-old can spot very early on who will be wearing the title of Mrs. Claus, but the ride to matrimony is well worth the trip.

Wanna get into the Christmas Spirit? Then watch this on Christmas Eve cause I always do. If you want to get back to being the person you used to be before we all grew up then watch SC2 either the nite before Santa visited or just before you go down stairs to see if the Big Guy with the white beard has decided if you have been naughty or nice. Great cast - Tim Allen funny as usual. Elizabeth Mitchell proving what a great actress she can be with the right film (check out Frequency by the way). Rumour has it there will be a Santa Clause 3. Will I be there. you bet I will.

Having loved SC 1 I recently bought SC 2. It is different, the characters having grown up, etc. since the first film, but still the importance of being Santa Clause is confirmed and accepted by both children and adults alike. As usual though it is the adults who need more convincing. But once alongside their loyalty seems to be total. So there you are, out there, all you adults, this film gives you permission to accept your 'inner child'.
