other than the masochistic impulse to commit career suicide, i have no idea why either vince vaughn or paul giamatti would ever agree to make fred claus. the only other reasons that i can think of why they would want to this movie are money, contractual obligations, and money. even with that being said, i don't know why would paul giamatti want to make such a silly movie after his latest string of films which gave him well-deserved recognition as one of today's greatest american actors. and i don't know why vince vaughn would resort to making such a formulaic children's comedy after the latest movies that he's done [on second thought, maybe i do]. it simply makes no sense. actors usually make these kind of movies so that they have more artistic freedom with later films, so it doesn't make any sense whatsoever that these two established actors would agree to do this.as for the actual movie itself, fred claus is simply a poor man's surviving christmas or a homeless man's the santa clause. the plot involves santa claus [paul giamatti] and how he has to deal with his slacker brother, fred claus [vince vaughn]. someone please tell me how this is supposed to be funny. i'm sure none of it will be enjoyable for any type of audience, including children. it's basically a quick money grab just in time for the holiday season. hopefully, people will come to the realization that watching this would be a waste of time before deciding to give reason [ie money] for movie studios to make this sort of film.
prognosis : 2/10

i think you just root for ben affleck because no one likes him.
