Featured Reviews

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Making an enjoyable family Christmas comedy must be one of the most difficult things to accomplish in Hollywood, because the late-year presence of a good one in multiplexes is more rare than a White Christmas in New York City. ...read the complete Fred Claus movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Know how a character in one movie can be so terrific, another movie is spun off just to take advantage? That happened with Ma and Pa Kettle, who had small roles in "The Egg and I," which led to their very own series. ...read the complete Fred Claus movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)

Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Are we still required to describe Vince Vaughn as an "actor?" Is that really an accurate assessment when, as far as I can tell, all he does is play the same wise-assed, motormouthed, jerkoff-with-a-heart-of-gold in every movie? This isn't a new ...read the complete Fred Claus movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Killer Movie Reviews (Andrea Chase)

There is something wonderfully metaphorical in the image of a herd of 30 Santa Clauses chasing a contemporary Scrooge through the busy streets of snowy Chicago. The holiday season, whether we will or no, will force itself upon even those least willing to...read the complete Fred Claus (2007) review at Killer Movie Reviews (Andrea Chase)

San Francisco Chronicle

Vince Vaughn as Santa's black-sheep older brother. That sounded funny enough. But "Fred Claus" is a complete bust, derivative and uninspired, boring and dull, not funny, not moving and about a half hour too long. It makes a beeline for mawkishness at...read the complete Fred Claus (2007) review at San Francisco Chronicle

MovieJuice! (Mark Ramsey)

Look! It's the inevitable dance sequence where Vince teaches all the elves the lessons of Footloose, because if there's one thing you need on the toy assembly line, it's 'jazz hands.'...read the complete Fred Claus (2007) review at MovieJuice! (Mark Ramsey)
