Fred Claus

Hollywood Reporter via Reuters:

With Santa Claus movies like "Fred Claus," who needs Ebenezer Scrooge?

Even more confounding than this mirthless, misanthropic mess is the involvement of such talented people as Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamatti, Miranda Richardson, Rachel Weisz, Kathy Bates and Kevin Spacey. Holiday films invariably perform well opening week, and the reunion of Vaughn with his "Wedding Crashers" director, David Dobkin, should give Warner Bros. a momentary holiday lift. It might not last long, though. One additional problem: Family films should not clock in at 115 minutes.

The previews made me cringe so I didn't have this on my Christmas viewing list anyway.

The last Christmas themed movie I saw was Bad Santa and it exceeded all of my expectations. It was an awesomely guilty pleasure. I don't think Fred Claus could come close.
