Synopsis
Better watch out! The big guy in red is coming to town once again. This time, Scott Calvin -- also known as Santa Claus -- finds out there's an obscure clause in his contract requiring him to take on a wife. He has to leave the North Pole to fulfill his obligations, or else he'll be forced to give up his Yuletide gig.

Isn't perfect, but it's fun, and Tim Allen shines - 63
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Frankly, if I were Mrs. Claus, I might be looking for Santa Clause 3, outlining the grounds for annulment. - 50
Philadelphia Inquirer
Has the disjointed feel of a bunch of strung-together TV episodes. - 50
L.A. Weekly
While the film is not entirely successful, it still manages to string together enough charming moments to work. - 50
Christian Science Monitor
Allen has fun with all his roles -- The rest of the acting is bland, but the movie's preteen target audience won't mind, and adults will find occasional grown-up jokes to chuckle at. - 50
New York Post
There's not a moment in it that feels fresh or authentic or inspired. But neither is it offensive. - 40
The New York Times
Captures the true spirit of the holiday. It's mildly sentimental, unabashedly consumerist (with anything-but-subliminal advertisements for McDonald's hamburgers and Nestlé candy tucked inside), studiously inoffensive and completely disposable. - 40
Austin Chronicle
Sweet enough while it lasts.
