Editorial Reviews

Fred Claus (FS/WS/DVD)

Vince Vaugn and director David Dobkin, the team responsible for the hilarious Wedding Crashers, return to take on Christmas! When Santa Claus' little known, older brother, Fred (Vaughn--Wedding Crasher, The Break-Up), returns to the North Pole, the black sheep of the family manages to create comic chaos that almost destroys Christmas before finally proving that he isn't the loser that the younger Claus has always believed him to be.

5.0 out of 5 starsA wonderful Christmas time movie for the whole family.
By Christine on December 3, 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I have a few "favorite" Christmas time movies, and this is one of them. I have finally broken down and purchased the DVD. The movie is touching, as you see the Claus family interact, and how perceived trauma's of childhood can carry to adulthood (Vince and Kevin). Vince Vaughn is a master at these types of movies. Just look at his body of work. I consider him a younger Rob Reiner. And, if you need more incentive, in addition to Vince Vaughn, look at the cast! Paul Giamatti, Kevin Spacey, Rachel Weisz, John Higgins and Kathy Bates, (just to name a few). How can it miss? All I can say is, sit back with your bowl of popcorn, and enjoy the movie. You won't be disappointed.

This is an update to my review. Although this is still one of my favorite movies, when I played it the other night, I found it was damaged. I carefully wiped it down, but it still had "errors". The movie was sealed, and was not used. I did not contact Amazon or the seller, since it was going to be more trouble than it was worth to return it. Hope others have a better experience.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat Christmas movie.
By Woodshop Man on January 11, 2017
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Yes I know, it's predictable and a bit sappy......but hey; that's what the Christmas season is all about.
Vince Vaughn is his usual likable self and Paul Giamatti is just wonderful as Santa Claus.
The sets are great, the supporting cast only helps the movie, and so, if you just want to sit down
and be entertained during the holidays and not preached to or made feeling sad, this
is one of those movies you can go to and have your children or Grandchildren watch with you
without having to "explain" certain things.

3.0 out of 5 starsSanta has a family...
By Ohioan on January 26, 2016
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
I really liked this movie when I first saw. It's not a movie I can watch over and over however. Vince Vaughn plays it over the top, as usual I guess, and it gets a bit wearing the 3rd or 4th time around. But some of the best lines of the movie aren't his, and so I still find fun to watch on occasion.

But this is the first Christmas movie that I can recall that introduces the idea that Santa has a family and extended family at that. Plus the movie does not play down to silly stupid in the second half as a number of other Santa movies I could name do. So for the notion of Santa having a family, this is one I wanted for my granddaughter to see.

5.0 out of 5 starsSibling Rivalry, Christmas Edition
By Amy Waugh on January 18, 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This movie brings to light how hard it can be being a younger sibling...especially if you feel like you're hiding in someone's shadows. I thought it was a great concept for a Christmas movie because you never really think of Santa as having siblings...our family outside of the elves and Mrs.Clause for that matter. I thought this movie would be great for everyone of all ages as there really weren't any parts that were inappropriate for kids. I love that Vince Vaughn was cast in this movie as he's one of my favorite across and he plays a very funny part. I would watch this movie over and over again! Great film, in my honest opinion!

4.0 out of 5 starsFred Claus
By Rick on January 29, 2014
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
One of my favorite holiday movies, it's required viewing around the holidays at my house. The casting of Paul Giamatti was a bit of an odd choice for Santa Claus, not that I don't like him - he just Doesn't seem right as St. Nick somehow. Vince Vaughan does his fast-talking used car salesman routine that he does so well (and so often). But it's a good story and the ending features a montage of kids opening their presents that will bring a tear to the eye of any parent who has happy memories of their own little ones tearing into the packages on Christmas day. I'm glad I made the upgrade to Blu-Ray - the picture and sound quality was a noticable improvement over the DVD.

4.0 out of 5 starsBetter than I thought it would be!
By Nanciejeanne TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on December 14, 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I passed on this movie last year because it got poor reviews. I was looking through Amazon's selection of holiday movies this year, just because we felt like watching something different from our collection of favorites and classics. I chose this.

I looked quickly through the reviews here and many said that it was simply terrible, but some said it was okay. I am neither a huge fan or a hater of Vince Vaughn so I wondered if I would like him in this (as he has annoyed me in some movies.) I took a chance with it and my family actually watched it 3 evenings in a row. It isn't some wonderful classic that is earth-shattering in it's brilliance, but it is definitely watchable and often funny or touching. Vaughn is very good as Santa's brother and plays his snarky role with what seems like relish! Giamatti is very good as Santa and his "straight" type humor is effective. I have no idea what Elizabeth Banks purpose is in the movie really, but it doesn't take too much away from the story. Kevin Spacey plays a believable "jerk." John Michael Higgins is Head Elf, (I just loved him in "Best In Show") and the camera work to make him look much smaller than Vaughn is very effective. The main story itself is fine, but the other characters' stories are sort of loosely stuck in.

Overall, I think the movie is at least worth watching and even owning. We do have favorites that we like better than this, but it has some really great and funny moments that make me not regret buying it. It is a nice addition to our collection of holiday movies even if it doesn't end up being on the top of our "favorites" list! Don't buy it expecting Dickens, (or even "Elf") but it is fine for a runner-up!
