Martin Short is a great comedian and hysterical at times, but has some real creepy moments in this film. The plot is ill defined and hard to follow at times. So no matter what you see in it after that point, once the film earns its foundation as a divorce comedy, then it becomes okay to have animatronic reindeer and little Jewish elves running around. THE SANTA CLAUSE 3 is a slapstick comedy, made for children and families. “I love that it’s about divorce,” Krumholtz says. I don’t know, you call that dying?”Įither way, the actor enjoyed the film for its narrative around family and divorce. “He falls off the roof, hurts himself badly and disappears magically.
While some fans assumed that Santa had died after falling off the roof, Krumholtz says he didn’t see it that way. The actor was 16 years old when The Santa Clause - where recent divorcé and father Scott Calvin is recruited to be the new man in red after he accidentally scares the then-current Santa, causing him to fall off a roof - first hit theaters in November 1994. “I could never have imagined that I’d be having this conversation years later.” “It’s wild to be part of something that’s lasted this long, that plays every single year and has become tradition in people’s homes,” he said. While Krumholtz says he thinks “the first two are really special,” with the first Santa Clause being a “classic,” the third movie, for him, is “not the same.” Still, he has fond feelings about the legacy of The Santa Clause films he was part of. “But I would say that the character got devalued a little bit and I couldn’t in good conscience do it.” We did work out the schedule, which was going to be hellish on me, but I was going to make it work. They sent me the script, I had a pretty significant role.
