Fred Claus

Fred Claus

2007

The joy and happiness of the holiday season is ruined for the saintly Santa Claus (Paul Giamatti) when his cranky older brother, Fred (Vince Vaughn) -- a repo man with a sizable rap sheet -- comes to stay with him at the North Pole. Kevin Spacey, Miranda Richardson, Kathy Bates and Elizabeth Banks co-star in this yuletide comedy from director David Dobkin that puts sibling rivalry in a whole new context.

Everybody has that one relative who can't help but cause problems over the holidays. Even Santa.
