 The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause—suitable to okay film—does not use the talents of Martin Short well. The camera work and presentation are suitable, but not outstanding. It's good to see Tim Allen suiting up for the holiday season again. The conclusion of the story is novel and quite unexpected. |

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Maybe.
The movie is worth one viewing to finish the series. But, better choices for
holiday movies are: A Christmas Story, The
Nightmare Before Christmas, and for the Teen/Adult audience—El Camino Christmas. It is a suitable film overall and also is the last film in the series. Look for Ann Margaret's performance in the movie.
