Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

The movie is not a special effects extravaganza like "The Grinch," but in a way that's a relief. It's more about charm and silliness than about great hulking multimillion-dollar high-tech effects. ...read the complete Santa Clause 2 movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

After all, Christmas doesn't come until December 25, but the filmmakers have chosen to release this film on November 1. It's so...read the complete Santa Clause 2, The (2002) review at Mr. Smiley

Chicago Reader (Bill Stamets)

Television director Michael Lembeck maintains a tidy pace suitable for commercial breaks, and though the committee-written script cites fuzzy logic, eBay, and Utah marital customs, it predictably avoids any mention of Christ....read the complete Santa Clause 2, The (2002) review at Chicago Reader (Bill Stamets)

There is a wisp of irony in calling Tim Allen's holiday movie The Santa Clause 2. There are actually two movies at work in this sequel to his 1994 hit The Santa Clause....read the complete Santa Clause 2, The (2002) review at Jam! Movies
