Santa Clause review frames Allen as bland Santa debut
Rob. Denerstein says Tim Allen's big screen turn as Santa in The Santa Clause is a mild, sparkless performance. The film follows Allen's character becoming Santa after the real Claus falls, with light comedy, a divorced dad plot, and generic holiday warmth. It plays toward kids with elves and reindeer, but lacks a deeper meaning or strong concerted action. Showings listed at Southgate Cinema New Bern and Havelock Cinema.
