The Santa Clause Reviews
Top CriticThis is a hip, likable spin on the seasonal icon told with a deft mixture of comedy and sentimentality.
The movie steers a shrewd course between bracing cynicism and old-fashioned make-believe.
Home Improvement fans will find plenty of laughs and may even consent to going to this movie with their little brothers and sisters.
Kids of most ages will be able to follow -- and enjoy -- this comic fantasy.
Despite its charms, the movie didn't push over the top into true inspiration.
