Movie Reviews of The Santa Clause 3 - The Escape Clause
Movie Review: I INVENTED CHILL!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Sadly I must admit that I didn't want to go see this movie at first. The first two Santa Clause movies were okay but this one looked stupid to me I was slightly angry that they took Bernard out and that they stole Nightmare Before Christmas music for the trailer. However, my parents ended up dragging me to see it and I was highly surprised to discover I actually liked it.
The movie does start off really, and I mean really slow. I did nearly fall asleep during the opening couple of minutes. The movie doesn't actually really start until Jack Frost (who Martin Short plays better than any other living person could) comes late to a Legendary Figures meeting occuring in Santa's workshop. In order to avoid getting suspended from the council for trying to make up his own version of Christmas (Frostmas), he tells the council that he'll do "community service" for Santa to prove that he is good enough to stay on it. However, he discovers that there is an escape clause and since he wants to be Santa and be more recognized, he decides to try and cause as much havoc as possible in the workshop to try and trick Santa (Tim Allen) into taking the escape clause. However, he informs Jack that he can cope with any problems that occur at work but family problems are the ones he really is worried about, since his wife is pregnant and he's been too busy to take care of her and his in-laws are now coming to the North Pole and he has to keep the Secret of Santa. So, Jack Frost goes on to try and mess up his family life, which he quickly succeeds, and gets Santa to say "I wish I'd never become Santa at all!" which brings them back to the night when Scott Calvin first became Santa.
Basically, Jack puts on the santa jacket and becomes Santa Claus and turns the North Pole into a hotel and tourist attraction. Scott Calvin discovers that he's totally destroyed the true meaning of Christmas and thus goes back to the North Pole to stop him. This leads to a rather funny musical number and, obviously, a happy ending only five minutes before the movie ends because, come on, folks, it's a Disney movie.
It may have seemed like all I did was mention Jack Frost, but those were the only parts of the movie that really kept my interest enough to remember. Jack Frost was definately the funniest character and the only one really worth going to see the movie for. I am now obsessed with Martin Short. *sigh*
Anyways, The Santa Clause 3 has a lot of good morals and jokes for younger kids and some adults (like the ones in my family) will enjoy some of the scenes from it too. The sets are all well put together and all the characters look their part (this movie totally revolutionizes the look of Jack Frost and all other ice people from movies...) It's definitely worth going to see just once.
