DVD Review: Time To Believe Again
Summary: 4 Stars
Tim Allen returns to role that gave him his biggest box office success back in 1994. Good 'ol Saint Nick. Why did it take so long to get a sequel to the smash hit original made?. Well, Allen himself said they could never find the right storyline and that they wanted it to be perfect. It took 8 years to find the right story?. The plot of this movie pretty much sounds like the obvious storyline to do, so I'm surprised it took them almost a decade to realize it. Scott Calvin(Allen), has been Santa in the north pole for many years now and many believe that he has been the best Santa ever. The glimpses into the north pole and the Santa village and workshop are wonderful. This is what I have always imagined the place to look like. However, the place is located underground, and that's the first time I have seen them do that. Head elf Bernard(David Krumholtz), is back, and is followed around by the #2 elf, who is played by Spencer Breslin, who was seen in "The Kid", and the upcoming "The Cat In The Hat" movie. Santa gets his annual naughty and nice list and is shocked to see that his son, Charlie, is on the naughty list. But Bernard has bigger news. It is written in the clause agreement that made Scott Santa that he has to get married, get a Mrs. Clause, or he will be desantified. Will no longer be Santa. Ho no!. He travels back to town to catch up on what Charlie has been doing, being reunited with his ex-wife, and her horrible sweater wearing husband Neil, once again played by Judge Reinhold. As the desantification beings, and Scott begins to shrink his body weight and lose the beard, he gets involved with Charlie's ice princess principal, Principal Newman, played by the lovely Elizabeth Mitchell. He realizes that she may be the one he has been looking for, but has to get her to realize it before his time is up and he is no longer Santa. In the meantime, the north pole is being overrun by a replacement Santa who quickly becomes dictator-ish and causes chaos and mayhem. This sequel is sweet, warm, and fun. I can't say it is as good, or has the same kind of magical feel and quality to it as the wonderful original, but it comes close. Then again, what sequel really does?. It's good, clean family fun, and everyone should enjoy it. Tim Allen, not surprisingly, carries the film. There were moments and scenes with no real spark, but were made by his being there. His jokes and overall presence lift the film and make it what it is. Eric Lloyd returns as Charlie, and he isn't bad. Dealing with young teen angst and the big secret he has to carry about his father really weighs on him and he does a pretty good job of making it seem real. Nothing special, but he gets the job done. I would of liked more screen time for Reinhold, but what are you going to do?. What the film lacked was the awe and specialness of the original. The original just seemed natural as these magical things begin to happen and everyone has to deal with them. Since everything has been set for quite some time now in this film, the enchantment isn't the same. Don't get me wrong because it is still there, but it's not the same. SNL alum Molly Shannon delivers one of the best moments when she cameos as a potential love interest for Scott. She delivers a doozy of a Christmas tinged Shania Twain song and it's hilarious. Also, original cast member Peter Boyle, who played Scott's boss in the oringal, has an uncredited cameo here playing Father Time. So, in the end, what you get is a really fun, nice movie that gives sequels a pretty good name. There's no harm, no foul, but the first is still the best.
Description of Santa Clause 2 (Full Screen Edition)
Walt Disney Pictures presents an all-new comedy adventure overflowing with holiday cheer. Tim Allen reappears in SANTA CLAUSE 2, the hilarious sequel to everybody's holiday favorite. Scott Calvin (Allen) has been Santa Claus for the past eight years, and his loyal elves consider him the best one ever. But Scott's got problems. His son Charlie has landed on this year's "naughty" list, and if Scott doesn?t marry by Christmas Eve -- one very, very short month away -- he'll stop being Santa forever. Embracing Christmas and the magic of family with heart, warmth, fun, and charm, SANTA CLAUSE 2 is classic holiday entertainment everybody will enjoy again and again.Considering how lame this sequel could have been, The Santa Clause 2 makes for a pleasant holiday diversion. It's got the familiar smell of Disney marketeering, and more than a few parents will object to this further embellishment of the St. Nick legend, but Tim Allen's amiable presence provides ample compensation. As a divorced dad who inherited the jolly man's job in The Santa Clause, Allen now faces another Yuletide challenge. According to the "Missus Clause" in his North Pole contract, he can't continue to be the real Santa until he gets married. As luck and five credited screenwriters would have it, Allen falls for the Scrooge-y principal (Elizabeth Mitchell) of his son's school, while a phony, power-hungry duplicate Santa wreaks havoc on the North Pole's overworked elves. It's all as sweet as spiced eggnog, with that warmed-over feel of a mandated sequel, but the Christmas spirit does prevail with the sound of sleigh bells and Allen's rosy-cheeked ho, ho, ho! --Jeff Shannon
