Santa Clause 3

So this weekend we (everybody but Kelly & Shelly anyway) were surprised that Kyle flew into town. He showed up for a family visit since Thanksgiving is going to be cut short for him. Kyle is going to return home early after the turkey feast to go to a big football game at Clemson. Apparently they are playing their rival team or something. Anyway, while here now, Kyle wanted to go see Santa Clause 3. The eight of us (Kelly, Keith, Kyle, Korey, Shelly, Cade, Cale, and myself) met at the movie theater, which ended up being quite full before the feature started.

What is there to say about the movie? Basically, the plot is somewhat predictable. Still I found myself enjoying the movie. Jack Frost, played by Martin Short, is jealous that he is not getting the same attention that Santa gets. Jack tricks Santa and magically becomes Santa himself. Scott Calvin, the former Santa played by Tim Allen, battles back to obtain his old position in the big red suit. Check out the trailer HERE.

The film was good but I don't think there is much life left in this franchise. If you enjoyed the first two movies, you'll certainly enjoy the third. Martin Short brings extra life to the film and thus I liked this one a little more than the second one. It's a family feature and a lot of the humor is tongue and cheek but with Tim Allen and Martin Short it's hard to go wrong.

Final Verdict: See it. Unless you really didn't like the second one, I would pony up the cash and go see it.
