Tim Allen stars in the third installment of his Santa Clause franchise, which finds Scott Calvin (Allen) -- alias Santa -- trying to balance the birth of a new baby Claus with threats from evil Jack Frost (Martin Short), who's scheming to take over the Christmas holiday. The film features most of the original cast (including a now-adult Eric Lloyd) and adds new faces to the mix such as Ann-Margret and Alan Arkin, who play Scott's in-laws.

Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that kids will probably be eager to see the third tale in this fun, tame holiday movie series. Although it's rated G, there's still plenty of slapstick violence. Jack smacks Scott in the face with a snow shovel, and, in another scene, Jack gets run into and knocked over. That said, Santa's pad at the North Pole is one happy place. There are plenty of magical scenes in this movie that make you believe reindeer really can fly and magic really does exist in the world. And, oh, all those sweet treats!

Sexual Content

Mrs. Claus is pregnant.

Violence

Some slapstick violence: Scott gets smacked in the face with a shovel; in another scene, his pants are on fire. Jack gets knocked over. Also, Santa falls off a roof and disappears -- literally -- leaving behind only his clothes.

Language

Not applicable

Social Behavior

Jack is selfish and wants to be Santa for his own gain. He schemes and tricks Scott into relinquishing his Santa role. Jack is rude to kids and adults, "frosts" people, and causes Christmas chaos everywhere.

Consumerism

Toys and snow globes factor greatly into the storyline.
