Threat advisory: Elevated - Significant risk of entertaining activities
Movie propaganda
'Twas the fight before Christmas.
Holiday magic mixes with comical chaos at the North Pole in The Santa Clause 3. Tim Allen reprises his role of Scott Calvin - aka Santa - as he juggles a full house of family and the mischievous Jack Frost (Martin Short), who is trying to take over the "big guy's" holiday.
At the risk of giving away the secret location of the North Pole, Scott invites his in-laws (Ann-Margret & Alan Arkin) to share in the holiday festivities, and upcoming birth of baby Claus with expectant wife, Carol - aka Mrs Claus - (Elizabeth Mitchell).
Along for the adventure are Scott's extended family, son Charlie (Eric Lloyd), ex-wife Laura Miller (Wendy Crewson), her husband, Neil Miller (Judge Reinhold) and their daughter, Lucy (Liliana Mumy) who together with head elf Curtis (Spencer Breslin), foil Jack Frost's crafty scheme to control the North Pole.

Theatrical report
Somehow I managed to avoid seeing Santa clause 1 and 2 and now I know why: they're exactly what I thought they'd be. There's colour and movement all over the place with traditional Christmas family values falling out of the sky like... er... snow. Of course, it doesn't snow in Australia at Christmastime and even if it did there are heaps of families (and children) who don't celebrate Jesus' birthday let alone give each other Chrissie pressies so Santa clause 3 is not wholly relevant here but if you do do the Xmas thing and you do need to get rid of the rugrats while you do the Christmas shopping then this is a harmless way to amuse them for 1½ hours.
