      Honestly I always enjoyed this movie just for Martin Short's performance, lines like this I can hear in my head after reading them. Even as a kid I found the plot about Santa being overworked and the in-laws coming to visit boring and awkward, but there's something about Martin Short as Jack Frost that is ridiculously fun to watch. Maybe it's because he's the only one in the movie who seems like he's enjoying himself, like watch his song-and-dance routine as Santa, he's clearly having a ball.

I wish it had been recieved better and we'd gotten a prequel about the Jack Frost character in all honesty. Also, Curtis is way less annoying 3 than in 2, good god.

I laugh at a lot of offensive jokes but I still take real issues seriously in a serious environment, just as you seem to as well (from what you've said). So I think it's safe to say that perhaps such reminders don't always need to be said. We all know these things and were not going to forget them anytime soon.

    Joke in The Santa Clause: “We shared a bowl of sugar, did some shots of brown liquor, played with my shotguns, field-dressed a cat, looked for women.”
    Joke in The Santa Clause 3: I honestly can’t think of one.
    The original is a PG-rated, playfully cynical film that properly counterbalances its Disney brand sweetness. It creates a good dichotomy that makes the emotional moments impactful rather than cheesy.
    The sequels are G-rated sugar-fests filled with overacting and an overreliance on cutesiness. Just the fact that they gave the reindeer bigger eyes and a silly gibberish style of talking shows how saccharine the sequels are compared to the original.

      And the Santa-bot makeup looks way more painful as Santa he had to wear aging makeup but in Santa Clause 2 he had to wear makeup that made his skin look plastic and wear plastic moulds of a beard and a wig

    He has grey in his beard now. Perhaps... perhaps he’s matured a little, if only just.

    That meeting with all the spirits in the beginning, probably what inspired "Rise of the Guardians"

    34:53 For someone who just got accepted into the Navy after a year of trying and massive lifestyle changes, on the day this was uploaded . . . that’s pretty on point.
    Merry Christmas Doug. To you, your family, and friends.

    Spencer Breslin's character in this movie isn't Conrad, it's Curtis. Conrad was his character in The Cat In The Hat.

      That's the joke, he can't tell the two characters apart.

      Jesus was pretty strong. I heard he had to carry that damn heavy cross that he was crucified on AFTER he had the crap beat out of him. That's pretty metal......... and extremely fucked up but it was how they did things back then.
