The Santa Clause 2 is a decent sequel. I was very excited when I first saw a trailer for it. I can't remember it too well but I think I was going to see The Fellowship of the Ring and out in the lobby the theater has TV screens which show trailers and I believe Tim Allen was talking about the movie. Anyways I saw the movie opening weekend and loved it.
Sure the movie is not as magical as the first but its a passable sequel filled with laughs. The story is simple, after eight years of being a single Santa, Scott is informed of the single most important part in Christmas History: The Mrs. Clause. This proposes a challenge for Scott as he must find a wife by Christmas Eve or he doesn't get to be Santa anymore.
BUT he also faces an equally tough challenge, his son Charlie has landed on the naughty list. A third challenge not as tough arises, how to keep running the factory while being with Charlie. Curtis(an annoying side-kick to Bernard) has devised a plan to clone Santa. The result: A Toy Santa.
Santa goes to be with Charlie and to find a wife, he is given a limited amount of magic to use and has the funny Comet to fly with. Neil Miller is still wearing those obnoxious sweaters. Anyways with time and magic running out Scott does his best to win the heart of Carol Newman, Charlie's school principal, and trying to figure out what caused Charlie to become naughty.
The end result a funny family film with a sweet taste of magic even though it lacked the sweetness of the first, it still manages to pass as a decent enjoyable sequel. I love the part at the end during the credits where you see what became of the toy Santa, one of the funniest moments in the movie.
