Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that the original Santa Claus takes a fatal, accidental fall (yikes -- Santa dies!). Guns are drawn as Tim Allen's new "Santa" gets arrested by police. There are grown-up (and gross) jokes, and the movie deals with divorce and estrangement between a father and son. While the whole plot revolves around the idea of Santa being real, many characters talk about the fact that he might not be -- so this may not be the best fit for families looking to extend kids' belief in St. Nick.

Violence

The original Santa Claus takes a fatal, accidental pratfall. Guns are drawn as Tim Allen's new "Santa" gets arrested by police.

Language

One distantly off-color joke about whether a sexy grownup has been "naughty" or "nice."

Social Behavior

The religious significance of Christmas takes a big back seat to present-giving and childhood wish-fulfillment.

Vague gag reference to the main character's 1960s drug use.
