The scenes in which Fake Santa torments the elves with a toy soldier army are twisted enough to make it worth sticking around through the mawkish courtship.
The Santa Clause 2 is a barely adequate babysitter for older kids, but I've got to give it thumbs down.
A bloated, prefab sequel that gets stuck in the chimney.
Has less charm than coal in a stocking.
A movie conscious, at every waking moment, of trying to out-do its predecessor.
If you value your time and money, find an escape clause and avoid seeing this trite, predictable rehash.
Audience Reviews for The Santa Clause 2
Being the sequel to one of my favourite Christmas movies, I dreaded that this would tarnish my good memories of the original. But as much as I prepared myself for a suck-fest beyond measure, I quickly came to discover that my fears were unfounded. Sure, the script is about as thick as a ginger bread man, and yes, there's an abundance of random goofing around. But the spirit and joy of the original is still pretty much intact. Santa's workshop remains vibrant with fun activity, and although a few ornaments short of an epic Christmas tree, it's sufficiently entertaining and even touching at times. More with kudos to the cast though, than due to any other element. So for a follow-up with such a weak and skeletal plot, this was far from ho-ho-horrible.

Stupid, but good for completely mindless entertainment. I LOVED the first one as a kid - so strange to see everyone so much older in this one.
Super Reviewer
Sweet movie for kids, but at many times very dumb and childish.
