Fred Claus

All they want for Christmas is a funnier script
Bah Humbug, I so wanted this to be great... First of all, this has some brilliant sets, the North Pole thing is brilliant, and is equalled by the talent (Paul Giamatti, Vince Vaughan, Rachel Weisz), unfortunately what it doesn't have is a huge sack of laughs.

It just doesn't feel Christmassy, and isn't that what you want out of a Christmas film ? Even the little ones in our screening seemed bemused, and bored, half way through and seemed to catch on that this was a bit co...
Like poinsettias and fruitcakes, Christmas movies are more ubiquitous this time of year than they are actually eagerly anticipated, so it's hard to figure why David Dobkin would stoop to making one after Wedding Crashers, or why Vince Vaughn would agree to star.

Santa Claus' older brother Fred Claus (Vince Vaughn) was raised in the shadow of his famous brother and has issues with his mother (Kathy Bates). In Chicago, near Christmas, Fred asks for money on the streets trying to raise fifty thousand dollars to open a betting shop. However, many legalized Salvation Army Santa Claus chase him and Fred is arrested and sent to jail. He calls his brother Nick Santa Claus (Paul Giamatti) in the North Pole that accepts to pay his bail of five thousand dollars and proposes to lend the amount Fred needs provided he comes to the North Pole to help him in his factory. Meanwhile the mean efficiency expert Clyde Northcut (Kevin Spacey) arrives in the North Pole with the intention of finding three non-conformities in the audit of the manufacturing process and shut-down the facility. When Fred is assigned to work in the Naughty-Nice Department, the troubles of Nick begin.
