If you enjoyed the first two of these films, pass this one by. The plot was strained...ridiculous at times, and the two Claus kids were annoying for most of the movie. The elves were more annoying this go round also. For a Christmas movie they seemed to concentrate on that too little. The whole part in Mexico is beyond contrived. Partway through I just wanted it to be over, but I rarely stop watching before the end, hoping it will/can redeem itself. Of course they tied it up and made it all work out by the conclusion. Most Christmas movies I can watch over and over. Sure this won't get a second viewing.

Baddy bad.

...What can I even Say?
Everything Is bad.
Characters are bad, editing and sfx are bad, sets are bad, story Is non-existent and bad, the only good things are a few characters and jokes, some Lines were good and the music sounds good; and yet the use of It Is atrocious; everytime theres Is something with tension or pathos the music Is still quirky and excited when It shouldn't have been.
I liked the First One, and although the second One was pretty bad, It still has some charm to It and some good scenes.
This? I can't even Say all of the good things,as there are few of them and the rest Is traaaash.

Unbearable (for adults)

I loved watching the first two movies with my kids during the peak of winter and Christmas time. Attempted the same with the third movie, but couldn't quite hang in there. Jan Decleir, who plays a pivotal role, exudes the charisma of both Santa Claus and Saint Nicholas combined. However, while the kids still enjoyed it, it didn't captivate them as much as the first two films did.
Al thought the Christmas message for the children is still quite strong, and it's something fresh, other than Home alone 1, 2, 3, ... I never really enjoyed belgian-dutch movies, I generally find Belgian movies better.
