A 7 year old's review
It's a really good movie, but there may be some tense parts. This one has a villain unlike the first one. We really didn't like Jack Frost.

good christmas movie
Not that it was bad but for teenagers like me that watch it i think the beginning was too umm...slow. It was funny and i think it showed a good example of a good christmas movie for little kids to enjoy. Its not a waste of time or money but i think the producers would have done better.

Great for my 6 year old, not so much for me
I kind of figured going into the movie that my 6-yard old daughter would love this movie since she's like the first two, and that I wouldn't. And that's about how it worked out. She laughed, was interested in the story, figured out what was good, what was bad, etc... Me on the other hand, got more joy out of watching her laugh since I couldn't really find anything to laugh about myself. For the adult, it's a little slow, by the time the "switch" happens, the movies 3/4 of the way over. But hey, if you thought it would be good going into it, you're probably on a different level from me anyway. But, the kids will like it, and that's why we go, I guess.

My kids, 7 and 10, loved this movie!
I enjoyed it, too, because it wasn't crude or violent. Martin Short is great in it!

good clean fun!
Wholesome mesaage, put others and especially your family before yourself. Enough of a plot with Martin Short as the "Bad guy" to keep even older kids interested.

Few laughs not worth the scare
I took my 5 year old daughter to see S.C.3 last evening. It started out OK. However Martin Short's depiction of Jack Frost was very convincing of an evil character. When he froze Lucy's parents and locked her in the closet, that's when my daughter freaked out and started sobbing. While I encouraged her to bury her head until the happy ending (hoping I was right), the movie took way to long to get back to happiness and no more mayhem. This isn't a good Santa Clause flick. It was very disappointing. Definitely don't take children younger than 8, if you want to put your money into the seeing the movie at all.

Another great SC movie
Loved it. Another chapter in the Santa Clause series with Tim Allen. Funny - cute - good points for kids.

Cute and Funny for Adults and Kids
This is a good way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Kids will appreciate the prat falls and funny one-liners, Moms and Dads will appreciate Tim Allen and Martin Short's performances.

A divorced Santa?
Should certainly be rated PG. I was very dissappointed in Disney for promoting this as a family movie appropriate for young kids. Not interested in trying to explain the concept of Santa having an x-wife and new "hot blonde" as his new pregnant "Mrs. Clause" who lies to her parents and tries to cover up her marriage to my 4 and 6 year olds.
