[4] Writing for The New York Times, film critic A. O. Scott stated: "Mr. Willis stands by while a child swipes a movie out of his open palm ... Spencer Breslin, Russ's tubby, cute-but-annoying almost-8-year-old self." [15] Entertainment Weekly observed: "children will have fun by all means especially because young Breslin is such a natural, funny, unmannered boy." [16] The film grossed $110 million. [17]

He played a little boy in the 2000 comedy film Meet the Parents . [18] Later that year he was Joey in the Disney Channel Original Movie The Ultimate Christmas Present , a comedy, [19] and was nominated in the 2000 Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a TV Movie (Comedy or Drama) Young Actor Age 10 or Under [14]

He played Curtis the Elf in the 2002 Christmas comedy film-drama-fantasy film The Santa Clause 2 , marking the first of four films in which he co-starred alongside Tim Allen. [20] The film made $173 million in gross sales, and was the fifth-highest-grossing holiday film ever and the 28th-highest-grossing film worldwide of the year, making $29 million in its opening weekend.

[26] [30] [35] [36] Variety Chief Film Critic Justin Chang noted: "its occasional lump-in-the-throat moments are almost effortlessly achieved, thanks to strong work from [Kristin] Davis and Breslin in particular." [37] The film made a worldwide gross of $111 million. [38]

At the age of 16, Breslin went on to star as the titular character in 2007's offbeat teen comedy Harold , alongside Cuba Gooding Jr., about a teen who starts prematurely balding at an early age.
