Review of Fred Claus (2007) by Robert B — 29 Dec 2009
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie after reading all the bad reviews. Vaughn is great as Santa's older brother who must be the only person on the planet that hates St. Nick. It looks amazing in parts, is saccarine sweet when all the plot threads tie up at the end and puts a smile on your face.
Great casting in Giamatti as Santa, Spacey as the auditor (who funnily and ironically loves a certain superhero), the sweary kid from Role Models in a cameo, Rachel Weisz with a typically comedy English accent, Ludacris as an elf and the one of the best scene ideas I've seen in ages with Vaughn attending a Sibling Anonymous meeting.
Needless to say one of the Baldwin brothers turns up and hates Alec, amongst others. Class.
