The Santa Clause is not your usual Santa movie. Tim Allen from Home Improvement fame, stars as a divorced father whose son Charlie would rather be spending the night with his mother and stepfather, but instead is spending Christmas Eve with Dad. Late that night there is a strange noise coming from outside the house. When father and son go outside to investigate they find that Santa is up on the roof. Maybe he is startled, but for whatever reason he falls off the roof, and dies.
There is a note encouraging the finder of Santa to put on his suit. Scott (Tim Allen) agrees to, in order to please Charlie, not knowing about The Santa Clause," a creative play on words. The clause basically says that if you find Santa, and he has expired, put on the suite, and now you have assumed the role of Santa.
Over the next year Scott finds himself becoming Santa, complete with the extra girth and facial hair. Much to the dismay of Scott's ex and co-workers.
Now let's stop here: I think this is a fine movie for the whole family, with little objectionable material. If of course you are old enough to know the truth about Santa. If you have young children who still hold this fantasy dear to their heart, seeing Santa falling off a roof and dying may be too much to handle. Some might just say it is a silly movie and be done with it. They would be right. It is a silly movie. But cute and quite funny.
