Love this holiday film, one of the best holiday movies ever made! There is so much laugh-out-load moments for all the family with such a lovely cast, an amazing story line and a warming family movie!

This sequel is not as good as the first because of the story, but it is still a lot of fun. It has some great moments and Tim Allen gives another great performance.

The Santa Clause 2 manages to keep a low distance behind the first installment, while still having enough cheer to pull it off. But like the first one, it has many flaws, and it feels like we've seen it already.

The Santa Clause 2 brings another round of Tim Allen and his ultimate shining and sadly, that shining he gave us in the first Santa Clause movie wasn't even in one part in the Santa Clause 2. Still seems enjoyable without the shining though.

Santa Clause 2 works more for having an inventive story-telling, but it continue suffering a lose of imagination and true love, mixed with the wrong continue of the ore desires message, and not-funny enough stunts or jokes.

The scenes in "the real world" really shine, and Tim Allen's chemistry with Elizabeth Miller is by far the high point of the movie.… Expand

The Santa Clause 2 is a great follow up to the 1994 original. I like how much of a time jump is between the two movies.

Decent Sequel
Though it lacks some of the magic of the first one, This sequel is still worth a watch during the holidays.

The only people you could like in this movie are Tim Allen and the guy who played the tallest elf with black hair. But the boy who played the "smart" elf was TRYING to make his voice sound "grown-up", and made the worst gestures. The girl The only people you could like in this movie are Tim Allen and the guy who played the tallest elf with black hair. But the boy who played the "smart" elf was TRYING to make his voice sound "grown-up", and made the worst gestures. The girl who played the elf who brought Santa's cocoa was an awful actress. Did you notice that when she screamed it looked like she was smiling? ..... And those giant toy soldiers he made were absolutely disturbing (especially the look on their faces...yikes!) This film had its moments, but the lines were stupidly written. Epecially when the pilot says, "I hear something. It sounds like little hammers." Little hammers? What KIND of pilot says that?! Yes, this movie was definitely made for the youngsters, though it had some adult-humor in it.… Expand

Slapstick,zany,and above all STUPID. It's amazingly boring and the humor isn't the greatest.

Scott Calvin/Santa Claus: "I have to get married?"

Bernard: "Yes. It's the Mrs. Clause."

The darkest chapter in the Santa Clause universe!

Not as good as the original. The story needed work and felt unfinished. It had great acting as usual of course. It isn't a classic like the original, but still good.

Está bien para niños; aunque se queda corta si se le compara a su predecesora.
