Tim Allen in The Santa Clause (1994)The amiable comic is a hapless divorced dad who accidentally bumps off Santa and is forced to assume his duties. Bushy of beard and big of belly, Allen undercuts the sugar with his regular-guy brand of spice, and even answers the age-old question of how Santa goes down those narrow chimneys. (USA Today)
FILM:Fred Clause Nov 6, 2007
Disney enjoyed considerable success with "The Santa Clause" years ago, but solid early returns within that niche should evaporate once word of mouth earmarks this Warner Bros. release for the "naughty" bin. (Variety)
A winter heat wave for DVDs? Sep 23, 2007
The mini-major will bring out "Hairspray" on Nov. 20 -- a key position two days before Thanksgiving, when "Live Free or Die Hard" and "The Santa Clause 3" will also bow -- and is also expected to bring out "Rush Hour 3" sometime in December. Sony is also squeezing "Superbad" into December, and Universal is doing the same with "The Bourne Ultimatum" and potentially "The Kingdom.". (Variety)

Celebrating a big man in a red suit who brings presents to those who are "good," and then having to turn around and tell your child, "Sorry son, I lied to you, there isn't a Santa Clause," how is that any good at all. I'm not saying I didn't do that myself, but come on, let's get real, it's all about the almighty dollar, all holidays are for the stores. (Pensacola News Journal)

'Rush Hour 3' Vs. 'Bourne Ultimatum' In A Threequel Battle, In Projection Booth Aug 10, 2007
Larry Carroll, MTV News writer: "The Bourne Ultimatum" ($32 million) "I don't know what is more telling: That it's been six years since the last 'Rush Hour' movie, that a main actress (Roselyn Sanchez) was pulled out of the film during editing, that the plot has still been deemed releasable or that in more than a half-decade I've never once heard someone say, 'I wish they'd make another "Rush Hour" movie!' Either way, it all seems like the perfect storm is brewing for a threequel dud along the... (VHI.com -- Music News)
Horton Hears a Who Trailer Jul 30, 2007

'Evan Almighty's' flood of laughs only ankle deep Jun 29, 2007
If you take out all of the things that Jim Carrey did in the first movie to make it hysterical and add in a teaspoon of morals and mix it together with the plot from "The Santa Clause," you end up with "Evan Almighty.". This is a movie that does not show off the strong points of Steve Carrell's comedy. (Waterloo Courier, IO)
'Evan Almighty' isn't heaven-sent Jun 22, 2007
Director Tom Shadyac and his screenwriters treat Noah as if he were Santa Claus in The Santa Clause, betting that Carell sprouting facial hair and donning a robe and sandals will amuse the mass audience the way Tim Allen does whenever he grows a gut and a beard. I wasn't a fan of The Santa Clause (and even less a fan of its sequels), but it was Some Like It Hot compared with Evan Almighty. (SunSpot.net)
Evan Almighty Jun 22, 2007
Although ostensibly plucked from the ribs of "Bruce Almighty," the 2003 comedy hit starring Jim Carrey, "Evan" plays much more like an uncredited sequel to "Oh, God!" garnished with a dollop of "The Santa Clause." The film also reaffirms, for anyone who doubted it, Steve Carell's arrival as a major comedy presence and asset to NBC Universal (featuring him in "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and NBC's Emmy-winning "The Office"), and his own appeal surpasses that of the movie itself. Carell -- reprising... (Variety)

Sport's most tarnished bad penny May 30, 2007
And the message is: "To the parents of youth athletes of the future - you have got to understand that if you guide them and steer them, support their dreams and let the fire become a blaze, in 10 years' time they will find out what the real rules of elite sport are; there is no Easter Bunny, there is no tooth fairy, there is no Santa Clause in elite sport.
