Fred Klaus film review

Note: The following post contains spoilers for the film Fred Klaus

About
Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamatti
Fred Claus, Santa's bitter older brother, is forced to move to the North Pole.

The Good?
I really liked the idea that even the "naughty" children deserved a gift at Christmas time. I mean, their just kids for crying out loud.

The Siblings Anonymous scene was just genius, I want to know how many of them are actual siblings of celebrities (I know the three with speaking parts were, but some of the others in the group looked awfully familiar...).

The Bad?
Unfortunately, most of the movie was a bit of a letdown. I really was expecting it to be much funnier than it was, and it was far more cheesier than I thought it was gonna be. I hate to say it since I'm a fan of his, but Vince Vaughn was pretty average in this film. He's much better in comedy films.

And as usual, the majority of the funniest bits were shown on the trailer.

The Ugly?
As my mum said, Paul Giamatti makes one ugly Santa Claus... Oh, and the mother really pissed me off too - what a bitch!

Overall
Probably a good film if you're with children, but really not worth seeing if you're not. The kind of film you should see only if you've got nothing better to do.
