The Santa Clause 2 almost rounds the corner of “it’s so bad it's good,” but doesn’t quite make it. When Scott Calvin starts to lose his Santa magic he discovers that there’s a Mrs. Clause within the Santa Clause that requires him to get married. Of all the bad ideas of where to take The Santa Clause story, the Mrs. Clause is spectacularly awful. If only the bad ideas ended there though...but they don’t, they keep coming and coming (life-seize toy Santa, I’m looking at you). The special effects are pathetic at best, and the set designs aren’t much better. It’s sad to see a sequel go so wrong, but there it is. The film is so over-the-top at times that it’s hard not to laugh at it, yet The Santa Clause 2 is not enjoyable enough to make the out-of-control ridiculousness work for it.
