A silly movie. Fred Claus is the story of Santa Claus's older brother. Fred was hurt by his father and especially his mother when they only gave Nick their attention. Nick is a saint, he loves Fred, but the more attention Nick drew, Fred became angrier. | | | | Reply | | |

Vince Vaughn did a good job with a touchy subject. Fred Clause was not the worst christmas movie I have seen. The story was good, but the acting was terrible. | | | | Reply | | |

It is a very funny, awesome and holiday movie. The movie gives a short of message to the people. But acting could have been more better. | | | | Reply | | |

Fred Claus was very entertaining kids movie, plain and simple. Paul Giamatti as Santa was decent enough. | | | | Reply | | |
