John Pasquin's holiday comedy The Santa Clause comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while Spanish and French soundtracks have been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. Spanish subtitles are accessible, and the English soundtrack is closed captioned. Supplemental materials include a trivia game and a pair of featurettes. Those with a DVD-ROM drive can access additional featurettes and a screensaver for PC. This is a solid release from Disney/Buena Vista.

It's a fun holiday movie about a man who becomes Santa. Tim Allen is very funny and it's a movie that I like watching every Christmas. I also recommend The Santa Clause 2. I've seen the third one also, but I think it falls flat. This movie and the second one are the best by far!

This was the first Dane Cook movie I have ever watched. I know he's known for being crude (and that's not my thing), but I tried to go into this with an open mind. I think this movie has some really funny parts, but the onslaught of over-the-top profanity and crudeness kind of got to me after a while. Yes, Cook plays a guy who is supposed to be a huge jerk to women (that's his side job) and he meets his match and love interest in Kate Hudson, but he probably used the "F" word a hundred times, along with every derogatory word for females that the mind can conceive. This is just not my brand of humor, so I can't really say I would watch it again.

What's great about it: Kate Hudson and Dane Cook sell the relationship
What's not so great: Very crude humor (typical Dane Cook)

There were some parts of this movie that killed. Seriously, Christina Applegate scrubbing the dining room table after Drew and Justin have done it on there (I laugh every time I watch that). That and the awkward conversation after are classic! Some of the boo-hoo, I miss you, because you are so far away scenes are annoying. But, overall, it's a good movie.
