SC2 is an autopilot Hollywood concoction lacking in imagination and authentic Christmas spirit, yet it’s geared toward an audience full of masters of both.

(Anita Schmaltz, Metro Times)

The weird thing about The Santa Clause 2, purportedly a children's movie, is that there is nothing in it to engage children emotionally.

(Gary Thompson, Philadelphia Daily News)

In spite of featuring a script credited to no fewer than five writers, apparently nobody here bothered to check it twice.

(Christopher Smith, Bangor Daily News, Maine)

It's mildly sentimental, unabashedly consumerist ... studiously inoffensive and completely disposable.

(A.O. Scott, New York Times)

Has less charm than coal in a stocking.

(Desson Howe, Washington Post)

It's really obvious that the sequel was made only to cash in on the popularity of a much better original. I resent that kind of cynicism, especially in a movie that's supposed to fill me with holiday cheer.

(Mike McGranaghan, Aisle Seat)
