Viewing Notes

Tim Allen in a different Xmas film, not playing Santa. I’d say this was a career move to step away from the SANTA CLAUSE franchise as a character who is skipping Christmas, but he did part three after this film. Can’t believe this is based on a John Grisham novel. There’s not even any courtroom scenes!

A few laughs here and there, with some good holiday cheer at the end.
