Allen and Short seem to be having so much fun that their enthusiasm is entirely contagious. Let the season begin.

The Santa Clause 3 is a colourful jumble. (But quite a bit better than Jungle 2 Jungle). Nevertheless, whether parent or elf, You might laugh when you watch it in spite of yourself.

Love this holiday film, one of the best holiday movies ever made! There is so much laugh-out-load moments for all the family with such a lovely cast, an amazing story line and a warming family movie!

The second best Santa Claus movie. The acting was great, as always. The story is a clasic, unlike the second. It had great visuls also, the first in the series I can say that for (maybe the first too). The story was better than I thought, the villain was excellent. It is better than reviewers say.

This isn't a movie, it's an animatronic theme-park ride - an artificially processed, easily digestible treat for kids.Ho, ho hum.

To borrow a cliche from another medium, Santa might have jumped the shark.

There must be some solid marketing reason for putting out a Christmas movie before the jack o'lanterns have begun to rot, but if so, it's elusive. Couldn't this lump of coal have waited another month?

One of the good things about bad movies is that when someone sneers about the unworthiness of a perfectly mediocre film like, say, "Crash," you can turn to a seriously unworthy film like, say, The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause and laugh. Ho. Ho. Ho.

It boggles the mind that Saddam Hussein and assorted cohorts have finally won their rightful place in the global noose while various and sundry villains associated with this third entry in the Santa Claus franchise of flaccidly feel-good, winter nostrums will no doubt be allowed to walk the Earth with nary a qualm nor backward glance.

The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause is overall an enjoyable film but isn't quite as memorable as the first two. The premise of this movie is a little far fetched causing the movie to get weird at times. Charlie was one of my favourite characters from the first two, and unfortunately he's barely in this third instalment. I'd still recommend watching it after seeing the first two however as it is still enjoyable.

This one was ok, better then the second one at least. Jack frost comes in as the villain and comes up with a plan to become Santa Clause.

This movie is so boring and dumb that to me, I wouldn't even recommend to people who celebrate Christmas. I haven't seen the other films, but I probably wont because there probably just as bad as this film that doesn't feel like a film.
