    I've had to construct an entire narrative around this to make it make sense but I think I've saved it. Realtor goes out to survey the property or whatever the hell they do. She takes some notes on those little flip-out notepads that they stopped making around the time everyone got an iPhone. 3 bedrooms. But, the twist! Her handwriting is *shit.* Maybe it smudges a little. Who knows. She heads back to the realtor store and hand the notes off to an intern. She's got a hot date, doesn't have time…

    In my former life as a film critic, I once got pulled over for speeding on my way home after a midnight showing of The Santa Clause 3 and lied to the cop that I'd just seen Borat to save face.

    It’s hard to believe that I’m taking notes about THE SANTA CLAUSE 3: THE ESCAPE CLAUSE (2006) for the annual @cinemashame.bsky.social holiday episode with @dandelgado.bsky.social. In what world does this movie require so much fucking attention? But you know what? I wouldn’t have it any other way.

    Watching The Santa Clause 3, and Jack Frost (as played my Martin Short) is intent on fucking Santa’s mother-in-law. Absolutely gunning for the hole. This movie is wild.

    The Santa Clause 3 is not only the second 2006 film that stars Alan Arkin and Abigail Breslin (after Little Miss Sunshine), but also the second 2006 film that stars Tim Allen and Abigail's brother Spencer (after Zoom).

    I will happily enjoy The Santa Clause & most of The Santa Clause 2, but by the time The Santa Clause 3 cues up, I remember what a wanker Tim Allen is, & I stop watching. Which is a shame, because as bad as the third film is, Martin Short is a good dude.

    ahhh yes that's fair I dunno if this qualifies but I am like very weirdly passionate about the idea that Fred Claus is incredibly underrated in weird ways. That and "The Santa Clause 3 is the best of the trilogy" are my most cancellable Christmas movie takes.

    39. The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause Honestly for a Christmas movie video game tie in it wasn't that bad. Jumping was super stiff and collision was mad funky at times but it had variety and was mildly charming. Music was really quite forgettable that's for certain. 5/10

    Can you guess 11? The Santa Clause 3! Look I love Martin Short but even having him chew scenery was enough to save the flimsy plot of the movie... still a sucker for the franchise and enjoy rewatching every year! Rating 13/24 #christmas #thesantaclause #thesantaclause3

    What are four folks you don't just not like, but that you despise? Wild Hogs - perhaps the most un-funny movie I've ever seen Jack - miserable and sappy The Santa Clause 3 - Martin Short being way too much Killing of a Sacred Dear - I love other Lanthimos, but no, not this one, just unpleasant

    Well I'm in the minority with this... I actually, admittedly narrowly, enjoyed 'The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause' - terrible title, mind. Most other reviewers clearly didn't and I respect that, but I genuinely found it alright. It's definitely the weakest entry of the series, yet I still found it entertaining enough. Martin Short (Jack Frost) is the star of this second sequel to 1994's 'The Santa Clause', outshining lead Tim Allen; who is still decent, by the way. I love Short's character…
