There’s some laughs and some good heart felt moments “towards the end.” You just have to get through a lot of Vince Vaughn rambling to get there. As well as too many argue mental scenes for a family film.
Corny, sappy and predictable AF. Kid level entertainment but the most painful part was the rap during the credits, just stop.
This isn't for adults, unfortunately it fell pretty flat mainly because I thought they failed when they tried to be sentimental.
Fred Claus is a fun, refreshing Christmas film thanks in part to the unique brand of comedy that Vince Vaughn brings. When Santa Claus’ estranged brother Fred gets into a bit of trouble he accepts an invitation to visit the North Pole. The casting is terrific; Vince Vaughn and Paul Giamatti make a great comedic pairing and deliver a ton of laughs (assisted by some excellent cameos). The story’s also quite entertaining and has a good message. A modern Christmas classic, Fred Claus is a great family film that everyone can enjoy.
fed up with this, cant get a darn stream !!

Rachel Weisz' accent is distracting af. But I'm pretty sure that's what I sound like.
Great concept but the beginning bothered me. We'll just suspend our belief for the fact they're in modern day, we don't need some weird reason that when you become a saint you stop aging and it applies to THEIR WHOLE FAMILY? I mean, come on now...
Vince Vaughn's mumbling rants always make me laugh. Jokes are just fired, fired, fired and if you stop listening for a second, guaranteed you will miss one!
Also, does Bobb'e J. Thompson age?
I just Googled and yes he does.
Funny as ever in this film though.

It has a rocky start and middle. It’s the last part where the Christmas spirit comes in and it is actually fun. There’s a lot of talking and arguing to get through before the movie gets good.
Kevin Spacey steals the show though and is too good in a Christmas movie. When he is a jerk who wants to ruin Christmas.
