although on the flip side of the coin....

THE SANTA CLAUSE 2(2002)ONE OF THE WORST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER!!i think anyone reading this thread can see that i have a pretty high tolerance for what i'll put up with as far as these types of movies. but let me say that this movie is not only ONE OF THE WORST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER, it is also
ONE OF THE WORST SEQUELS OF ALL TIME and maybe even ONE OF THE WORST MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. i cant even begin to describe how bad this movie is, and how it fails on so many levels. let me say that i actually saw it last year in theatres only to my shock and horror. i told my family that they could NEVER see it for it could only tarnish the memory of the first and that it was too bad for words. then when it came out on dvd i realized that no amount of describing its awfulness could ever do it justice. in order to know the pain that is The Santa Clause 2; it must be viewed. so i told my family that they should have to watch it, just once, so they too could know the horror. so tonite after we watched the first one, the second one we saw was coming on pay-per-view in a few minutes and we knew it was fated to be. after a brief synopsis of the plot my mom had already left the room, 40 minutes into the film my dad could stand it no more. only my sister and brother were brave enough to stick it out to the end with me. this movie is bad on a biblical scale. without further adeiu, the plot...
the movie opens and we discover that santas son charlie has ended up on the naughty list because he is now a delinquent who 'tags' up the walls at school. also, that there was a !2nd clause! that said that santa must have a wife. (forget that this is completely illogical because why 10 years later must he have a wife? and when the first santa fell off a roof where did his wife go? did she disappear? did the elves kill her?) but it gets better. because santa must go find a wife and doesnt want the elves to be alarmed that if he doesnt find one his magic will run out and he wont be santa anymore, a fake santa is created and put into place at the north pole. not just any fake santa but a fake Robot Santa that turns out to be a Facist Dictator! complete with facist outfit! he creates an army of wooden soliders who enslave all the elves and force them to make coal for everybody because he's evil and convinced that all kids are naughty. can you even believe i'm typing this? (also, whats worse is that people went to see this. like, it made A LOT OF MONEY. and i've read a few reviews who said it was good. what the hell were they watching?!) anyways, like i said, thats the basic setup which results in a giant battle at the north pole at the end between soliders and elves and santa and evil dictator robot santa where tim allen utters lines like "honey, i'm home!" for absolutely no conceivable reason before jumping from reindeer to reindeer in a midflight battle.
i could go on, but if this hasnt been warning enough, you'll have to see it for yourself. because like i said, no amount of me describing it can do it justice. everyone watching it with me admitted at the close of the film that they didnt take my words seriously but only then did they understand. otherwise
AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS.
