This Movie is unbelieveble.It is the funniest movie i've ever watched.If you look past the bad acting, the horrible dubbing, you get a great family film. In fact, the bad acting and dubbing add to the hilarity of this film. A must have for holiday Movie Buffs and who ever wants to laugh harder thatn they ever have.5 STARS!!!!

I bought this movie, because I remember seeing it when I was a little boy "4-6 years old". It scared me when I was a boy with the man dressed in a red devil costume.
I don't know why anyone in their right mind would make a movie about Santa that could scare little children.
The movie stuck out in my mind all these years and I wanted to see what was so scary to me as a little boy. As an adult it is not scary. It is not a movie I would recommend for children.

Bizarre doesn't even come close to describing this nightmare of a movie, even calling this a "movie" is questionable. The story goes something like this: Santa lives in a crystal castle hovering above earth, (i am not kidding!) where he seeks the help of children from all over the world. What the children do is beyond me. They look confused, and are forced to sing songs to Santa. Oh, did I forget to mention Satan was here!? Because, you know that Satan in a holiday movie makes for a classic! Anyway, Satan is up to no good and influences the children on Earth do naughty things. So santa uses his "dream probe" (which by the way looks like a satalite dish with a ear sticking out from it.) to see what the children dream about. He also has in his arsnel of gadgets some weird Hardware devices like a talking computer with big red lips. So do you get the plot so far? Don't worry neither do I! I should also mention that there is a "poor little rich boy" who spends most of his nights alone, Appearantly his parents are always out partying and have no time for him. So Santa poses as a waiter and gives his parents "rememberance potion" to remind them to stop neglecting their son. He tells them that if they have love in their hearts that they will not forget, but quickly mentions that if they have no love that the "potion" will burn their throats. This part was actually quite funny. Really I had to turn it off because it was just that awful. I think the screenwriters where taking some serious LSD when they wrote this one. So if you like terrible acting, films without plots, and poor over dubbed voice acting, you might want to give "Santa Clause" a shot. Honestly though I love indie, camp, and cult flicks, but even I couldn't watch this all the way through.
