Fred Clause
Review by: Kseniya


Surely everyone has heard of the big, jolly old man named Santa Claus who delivers gifts to children all around the world. But not many have heard of his older brother, Fred!

After leaving his family to live a normal life, Fred Claus (Vince Vaughn) has found himself into some money problems, and ends up in jail. Who else but his brother, St. Nicholas (Paul Giamatti), to bail him out! Fred will only get the money if he goes up to the North Poll and pay off his debt by making toys, which turns out to be a bad idea.

In my opinion, the movie was okay. It was definitely funny, but a bit bland. Lets just say there wasn’t much spark. Although, I was very happy to see a movie not only based on Santa Clause, but his brother. This seemed like an interesting story line, and caught my attention in a second. The acting was pretty good, everyone captured the character. I would recommend seeing it, but don’t expect the best.
