Fred Claus

I am a complete sucker for Christmas movies. I love the Santa Clause movies, and can watch The Grinch over and over. Tonight there was nothing on, so I decided to see what was on demand.

I found Fred.

This movie is all about Fred Claus ( Vince Vaughn), who is Santa's (Paul Giamatti )older brother. Fred has always been jealous of Nick, so as an adult, he has nothing to do with his family. That is until he finds himself in jail, and he needs bail. Oh, and fifty thousand dollars for a "side project". He calls his brother, who agrees to give him the money, but only if he earns it by working at The North Pole. Once there, Fred meets Clyde ( Kevin Spacey), who's mission it is to shut down Christmas forever.

This really is a cute movie about finding the good in yourself and others. I like Vince Vaughn, and he didn't dissappoint in this movie. BUT, it seems like every movie he is in, he says the line "let's make some bad decisions". I think that's a little odd.

All in all, a good movie. Even Santa learns a lesson. I will definately be adding this to my Christmas movie favorites.
