Santa Claus 2 In 1994, the film “Santa Claus” was released with Tim Allen in the title role. It didn’t end well and needed to be continued. And so, eight years later, some bright head finally decided to shoot this sequel. I wish she hadn't done that. Because it didn't work out well. Even bad.
The first film itself was quite average, but for family viewing it was quite suitable, but the continuation of an adequate parent should not show his child. The whole family component is completely killed by just one scene in which a deer full of chocolate lets gas.
But it's not like that without a deer. The plot initially kills with idiocy. It is twisted on the fact that Santa urgently, within twenty-eight days, it was necessary to marry, otherwise everything - in retirement, in the national economy! And he did not come up with it himself, but the faithful elves “remembered”, and delayed with the news to the last. Where have they been for the eight years that the protagonist served as Santa Claus? That question doesn't even come up.
The first film, although dotted, but marked the problem of fathers and children, the problems of divorce and dates with children after draconian court decisions, the characters had some human pressing problems. The second is entirely devoted to one problem - in less than a month to drag some aunt under the crown. Plastic duplicate usurper is not a problem at all, at least it was easier to cope with it than with the first.
In theory, there should be some feelings between Santa and his chosen one, well, not by calculation, she will go for him. However, this turned out to be beyond the authors’ teeth. There's no spark between them. It looks like she stopped believing in Christmas as a child, and he convinced her in five minutes. And all, I am at your feet, ready for you at least to the end of the world, even to the North Pole.
Plus, the plot attracted by the ears of various incomprehensible mythological characters such as the Tooth Fairy, Cupid, some grandfather with a stick, aunts in the costume of a star and an overgrown hare, apparently inspired by watching “Donnie Darko” (or is it still a rabbit?). There is a mention of hu from hu, but there is no point in remembering, because only the Tooth Fairy (for some reason, a man, apparently, for laughs) is related to the plot, and all the rest are plot junk. By the way, the mythical Cupid was a pink-cheeked baby, not forty-five-year-old Kevin Pollack in a diaper.
In short, it was very weak, and therefore all
