	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"This is a film so utterly without humanity or humour, it's almost scary. It is a shiny, empty second sequel that has been factory-made for the Christmas market (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	James Berardinelli ReelViews	"[These movies] are perfect entertainment for five-year olds and sheer torture for the unlucky parent(s) accompanying them to the theater (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Angie Errigo Empire	"A little muddled and derivative but what do we expect, really? (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Jane Boursaw Common Sense Media	"'The Santa Clause' movies don't require a lot of brain power, but, frankly, that's what makes them entertaining. They're just good, old-fashioned fun, with some magic and mischief mixed in (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"A smoothly engineered and fundamentally lifeless object that’s nevertheless capable of giving even the grinchiest moviegoers a brief attack of the warm-and-fuzzies"	NEU
United States	Peter Hartlaub SFGATE	"Plodding and unfunny sequel (...) It's very, very difficult to care, because the movie is structured so poorly."	NEG
