About the movie

Synopsis

It’s almost Christmas and Santa (Tim Allen) is in a difficult bind. Not only is he needed at home by son Charlie (Eric Lloyd) but he has discovered that there is a clause in his contract which states that he must be married by Christmas Eve or he will be ‘de-santafied’. Santa and his elves devise a replicating machine to make a fake Santa to carry on the work at the North Pole but he proves to be a real disaster.

Points to consider

Words of caution

Some scenes might scare younger children.

There is some slapstick comedy such as:

• a reindeer crashes into elves
• a rough football match
• Santa falls down stairs
• Santa and the fake Santa wrestle over the sleigh
• the sleigh crashes into toy soldiers.
  

Questions to ask

• Do you think Christmas is just about getting lots of toys?
• Why do we celebrate Christmas?
