Trailer Bulletin: Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause
by Scott Weinberg | May 24, 2006
Blog Article | Discuss Article
Summary

Remember when Disney made two "Tim Allen as Santa Claus" comedies? Unfortunately, so do I. And oh joy: They made a third one! And they got Martin Short to co-star! Click here for the trailer, after which you can head on over to Tylenol.com. Back to Article

The first one i actually did like. Sometimes I really hate money, because that is the only reason this stuff happens. Shame on you Disney, Tim Allen, Martin Short, Ann-Margret, Spencer Breslin, Elizabeth Mitchell, Judge Reinhold, and everyone else who would even think to be involved with this, shame on you..

So THAT's what hell on earth would be like . . .

It's as if McDonalds had collided with John Woo and they decided to make a picture together. behold their unholy child!

On the other hand, at least there's a story premise and a villain . . . . which is more than I can say for most family entertainment nowadays.

My investment in this series has ended. (actually it already did right after the first one)

'...how to stop Jack Frost from taking over Christmas." There's your plot.'

Isn't this the plot to about a dozen or so cheap Rankin/Bass animated holiday specials?

Like I said about the "Garfield" sequel, this is just further proof that Hollywood actors are whores who will exploit themselves endlessly, continuing to produce garbage, as long as the studios continue to throw piles of cash at them.

I havent seen the first 2, but this doesn't look that bad. I mean for a Christmas movie, I might actually take the kids to see this one. Also, Tim Allen is the best Actor in the universe.

Wasn't this the original title of X3 when Singer was still on board? With Judge Reinhold, you're guaranteed to jump the shark, and in this case, on a sleigh driven by 12 magical dollar signs.

Well, I'm a little ticked that Barnaby the elf ;o) (David Krumholtz), won't be in it. And I don't doubt that Disney will run the series into the ground if it keeps making money. But I'll go see it anyway. I liked the first two very much and I'm a sucker for a Christmas movie. And as long as they're entertaining, what better way to kill 90 minutes during the holiday season? Anything I can do to take my mind off the craziness in this world is something I eagerly embrace.

[b]The Santa Clause 3[/b]
Saw an advanced screening of the new Santa Clause movie, and although kids will definitely love it, the formula is starting to get a littl;e stale for adults. Oh the other hand, Martin Short stole the show (and probably saved the movie)!
You can watch a TV Spot for the movie here:http://www.iklipz.com/Movies.aspx?MovieID=cc4ef76d-6a6b-4a74-b3e6-d4449a3f7e9f
