Vince is pretty good in anything he does. For Fred Claus, he didn't dissapoint. A very nice holiday movie and we're sorry we never took this one in before Christmas; better late than never and worth the rental when it comes out on DVD too!

There were funny parts, but some parts will make you scream," CHEESY!!!" right out loud or "LAME!!!". I also wonder what the hell Fred sees in Martha. Martha's got to be the most boring, unattractive, [woman] EVER. She has NOTHING but looks, and even her looks aren't superb.

I expected classic Vince Vaughn funny and just never got it. His humour just doesn't work with the kiddy Christmas story. The story was long and I left the movie like something was missing from it. Maybe Vince needed to drop a couple F-bombs. Maybe that was it. Anyways my wife fell asleep watching this and I looked at my watch way too often.

Surprisingly good... especially after reading some negative reviews. Pleasant movie, sweet and as someone else wrote... no swearing (I might not have noticed), but it is true that it is refreshing.

[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
A good concept and decent movie. However, not one of Vince Vaughn’s best rolls. He didn’t carry it. And his dialogue was rambly and whinny that left you not listening, when the writers could have given him crisp, killer one liners that would have made the movie. So, bad casting and bad writing (or directing – hard to say if those lines were adlibbed) The writing continued to be problematic when it bit off way more than it could chew. Way too many problems to solve by Christmas, way too many troubled characters, and little time. It leaves a lot of the problems and characters undeveloped. The business deal, the bad girlfriend relationship, Santa’s health, the orphan, the shy single elf, the troubled auditor, the parent relationship….. too many problems to recall. I was ready for a major eye roll when a dozen problems would be solved happily ever after in the ending. It did seem to work though. I found Kevin Spacey once again pulled off a good act.

One of the worst Christmas films I've ever seen. Good actors, but horrible acting/lines. Some funny parts redeem the film a little. Don't waste your money or time.

Vince Vaughn should never do bad guy because his mean streak feels far too real. And ugly in this film is far too real. That makes it a problem as a children's movie. So it has a kiddie set at the North Pole and cute elves, but then you have a real sense of mean and a real loss of virtue in the first forty minutes. It could just be me, but the more I see contemporary language and values mixed in with the Christmas theme, the less meaningful Christmas seems to me because this sort of thing merges the vulgar or let's just say the common with the magical."What up. Santa!" "Word Rudolph!" "Whea dah reindeah at?!" And, of course, this is not just a language thing. It expresses itself in the goals and ambitions of the characters who become far less than Christmassy because they are trying to squeeze fifty thousand dollars out of old Saint Nick or because Santa's mother is a nag and liked Nick better than Fred. The movie picks up and moves toward a Christmas happy movie toward the end, but it really shows how tough it is to balance the grinch thing when you do an Xmas film. In this case, something just goes wrong at the outset. People (Vaughn) do not seem like the type we even hope will be redeemed. So I'm glad I did not have kids begging me to see this movie. At the same time, it's a little too much of a kid's movie for me. Boy it really makes you realize how lucky we are that Jimmy Stewart did "It's a Wonderful Life."
