The Santa Clause 3
Tim Allen is back for a third installment of the unassuming Scott Calvin turned Santa Claus. However, this time around his children have grown up and play only small parts in the whole Santa/Christmas theme. Instead, Martin Short is brought in as "Jack Frost," who is jealous of Santa and learns of a secret "escape clause" in the Santa contract that would turn Santa back into the ordinary Scott Calvin leaving the position open for Jack Frost to jump in -- which he does.
If Jack Frost wasn't enough of a problem to deal with at the busiest time of year, Santa's in-laws are coming to town. But they can't know that Scott Calvin has assumed the role as Santa, so the elves change the North Pole to look like Canada - eh.
This is a fun movie, especially if you've seen the other two Santa Clause movies. With a jealous rival and the always dreaded in-laws, it's a battle of a traditional naughty versus nice during Christmas.
