| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderYou play Santa Claus once with enthusiasm, twice with affection, three times for a paycheck. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanAllen and Short seem to be having so much fun that their enthusiasm is entirely contagious. Let the season begin. |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher SmithThere is no escaping the banality of it all. |
| Good Morning AmericaJoel SiegelI'm not going to be the movie critic who gives Santa Claus a bad review. Not me. It's not up to the first two, but it's fine for kids, and Short is terrific. |

| Los Angeles TimesGene SeymourAs a full-service holiday movie, The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause gets you into the mood to shop early and often by making the North Pole look like a shopping mall with a never-ending school pageant. |
| Urban CinefileUrban Cinefile CriticsThe scriptwriters have continued their inventive treatment of humanising Santa, while keeping the fantasy intact. Colourful and bright, funny and witty, it's a magical fantasy that will please young and old |
