The first half hour or so snoozes by as a Santa Claus origin story is told without adding nothing of interest to the already established myth. Things only start to pick up when Dudley Moore's elf runs off to New York where he offers his services to a deliciously evil toymaker played by John Lithgow. The ridiculously expensive special effects are interesting, if not impressive, but the plot is paper-thin throughout and culminates in a pathetic and anti-climactic chase scene where an absurdly unneccesary sleigh loop is needed to save the day. 6 years 4 months ago -

Loved the design of Santa's workshop. Went downhill after that - you know, like Clark Griswold's sled with too much experiment lube ...
Too bad Daisy couldn't have brought Onslow along - that might have been more fun than the Super Duper Looper.
Wonder why they never made Santa Claus: The Sequel -
