This 1994 Christmas offering might have many turning up
their nose – but I love it. The story of a cynical, divorced father who,
through a series of misadventures, inherits the role of Santa Claus is
genuinely heartwarming. Tim Allen is a consistently underrated performer (I’m not saying Home Improvement is Oscar
worthy or anything, but take Galaxy Quest. Superb.) and his genuine and
earnest Santa Claus is a delight. If the rumours that he was at least third
are true (Bill Murray and Chevy Chase ahead of him) then I am happy that they
turned it down. Wendy Crewson, Judge Reinhold (Mock Trial with J. Reinhold), Eric Lloyd, David Krumholtz and Peter
Boyle all co-star.
P.S. Don’t Watch The Sequels
