Fred Claus (Vince Vaughn) is Nicholas Claus'(Paul Giamatti) bitter older brother. He is a Repo man who takes away Christmas gifts. His girlfriend Wanda (Rachel Weisz) is tired of constant disappointment. He gets locked up for fighting with a group of Santas, and calls his brother for bail money. He agrees to spend time at the North Pole for $50k which he needs to open an OTB. Meanwhile efficiency expert Clyde (Kevin Spacey) is on the war path and itching to fire Santa.
Vince Vaughn is born to play the bitter older brother of Santa Claus. He has the callousness and sarcasm. Paul Giamatti is surprisingly good as Santa. I do wish that the movie allowed Wanda to have more screen time. It seems like she's abandoned after Fred goes to the North Pole. Fred really needs to work out his issues with Wanda. That's why the intervention is one of the funnier scenes. I also love the Sibling Annoynomous scene. There is a lot of originality here. It's a different kind of Christmas movie.
