    It has Christmas all wrapped up...

    This runs true to the 'Clause' formula, and doesn't really put a foot wrong. The casting, scenery and general feel of the film should make this a well deserved christmas hit with young and old alike. A great fun film to get you in the festive spirit - it will be among a collection of films (i.e. Grinch) that we will watch as part of our pre-christmas ritual. Well worth watching.

    Help! This film is making me gnaw off my leg.

    No! No! NOOOO! Poorly conceived, dismally executed brain rot for the terminally undemanding. Down with this sort of thing.

    Christmas Cheer

    What a sweet film. The sets were fantastic and all the elves were brilliant. I wasn't expecting much as sequels are so often lacking in the magic of the first in the series but this exceeded my expectations.

    Ho!Ho! Ho!

    Father Christmas was never this much fun. This is my favourite 'Santa Clause' flick: manages to tap into everyone's child like, fun side. A must see for children and adults alike!

    Rubbish

    I think, without doubt, that this is the worst film I have ever had the misfortune to rent. I did not watch it all, only the first 15 minutes. What ever happened to the old Disney Films that were in the most part watchable by all ages.

    Why do we HAVE to give it a star ?

    Good Family Christmas Film

    This one does what it says on the box - provides a nicely made piece of Christmas escapism which is suitable for everyone from toddlers to granny! Good one - recommended.
