Tim Allen stars in this entertaining holiday film about an almost ordinary man whose life is turned around when Santa Claus falls off his roof, and is expected to take his place. Allen gives a great performance as Santa Claus, who at first regrets his new jobs but soon begins to enjoy it. Also a confused boy who was not sure whether or not Santa Claus exists, now knows that he is his father and tells everyone, causing a few upturned eyebrows toward Allen who begins gaining weight and growing a white beard. The Santa Clause is a magical and funny film that you ought to see for the Yuletide.
