Review of Fred Claus (2007) by Carrie Rickey for Philadelphia Inquirer — 18 Mar 2010
Freely mixing reality therapy, fairy tale and satire, Dobkin's film does not maintain a consistent tone. Is it a seriocomedy about brothers who need to work on unfinished business? Is it a holiday fable about a Scrooge who comes to surf the yuletide? Is it a satire in which an efficiency expert (Kevin Spacey) puts pressure on St.
Nick to outsource gift allocation and distribution?
