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.

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.

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.

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.

Decent watch at best, probably won't watch again, but can recommend for off-brand holiday movies.

While I like watching Vince Vaughn beat up Santa Claus as much as the next person, I'm not a big Vince Vaughn fan. I'd rather see what Paul Giamotti can do with the Santa role, honestly.

Saving Christmas and Building Bridges.

It does exactly what it says on the Xmas Movie Tin. Poorly received by the critics and equally unsupported by the internet hordes, Fred Claus may be guilty of sentimentality, but for those in need of a pick me up during yuletide then it More
