The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause - Trouble in the North Pole

Did you ever stop to wonder if Mrs. Claus might be lonely around the Christmas holidays cuz Santa's so busy checking his list twice to find out if you've been naughty or nice? Well, that's exactly how she feels in this movie. She's about to give birth to baby Claus, but Santa can't spend any time with her cuz he's too busy gettin' ready for his big toy delivery! That's when he comes up with a plan to bring her unsuspecting parents to the North Pole. How's he going to do that? Easy - he'll put them to sleep with the help of Mr. Sandman and when they wake up, he'll tell them they're in Canada! Not such a brilliant plan, eh?

The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause - Merry Frostmas?

Meanwhile, Jack Frost (Martin Short) is feeling unappreciated because he doesn't have his own holiday like Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny do, and some kids don't even know who he is! So Jack starts sabotaging everything at the North Pole, and in an eye-rolling plot that includes a snow globe, he tricks Santa into giving up his duties and takes over Christmas! Does Santa have it in him to outwit the sneaky Jack Frost and take back his holiday?

The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause - DVD Features

The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause - Bottom Line

Aside from a couple of farting reindeer and some cool scenery at the North Pole, this movie isn't worth your ten bucks. Tim Allen's portrayal of Santa Claus the third time around is more ho-hum than ho, ho, ho, so it'd be a better idea to rent the first Santa Clause movie instead.
