Plot: Vince Vaughn has a SERIOUS case of overshadowed sibling syndrome. And who can blame him? His brother is Santa Claus!!!! Can you imagine!?Why is this a contender for Best Movie. Ever?
This is just a wickedly clever little movie for kids and adults alike. Light-hearted and cynical at the same time, Vince Vaughn stumbles around as the film's anti-hero with aplomb, managing to upstage the likes of thespian actors Paul Giamatti, Kevin Spacey and Rachel Wiesz. Everyone pulls their weight in suspending this wonderful Christmas fantasy movie that has been crafted to perfection for the kiddies during the holiday period. But I challenge all adults to refrain from letting out a chuckle or twenty at the hilarious and strangely relatable antics of poor Fred Claus on his quest for love and acceptance. The very punchy writing and attractive direction make this a no-brainer for festive viewing.
Best scene: Fred Claus goes to a discussion group of others who suffer in the shadow of their more-successful brothers. Expect a large heaping of high-profile cameos and gut-bustingly funny anecdotes.
I had this much fun watching this movie.
