Fred Claus has lived almost his entire life in his little brother's very large shadow so when Fred arrives at the North Pole to work off a debt, trouble isn't far behind.
Released on Blu-ray disc in time to put you off Christmas, Vince Vaughn's 2007 crime against cinema is now available for you to own for ever. That's if you're part of the audience it's made for: the thick, the gullible, or the festive obsessed. I am admittedly festive obsessed, which is why I ventured out to see this piece of tinsel-town trash last Christmas at the cinema. Having learnt my lesson, I was left to marvel at how excellent A-list stars like Paul Giamatti and, gasp, Kevin Spacey can degrade themselves in order to make such a worthless and appallingly bad film. Vince Vaughn is allowed to; he practically created the genre, and most of his films cater for those who prefer dumb, crude and brainless humour as apposed to witty dialogue and original comedy. The pathetic excuse for a story consists of Santa's brother, Fred, being summoned to the North Pole to work off his money debts to his brother by stamping Christmas lists and sorting out presents. Mixed with some rather unnecessary sex jokes, pointless snow ball fights and vague mutterings of "the true meaning of Christmas", the story gets lost and descends deeper into a puddle of sickly, drippy nonsense.

Santa's brother is coming to town in this seasonal family comedy. Fred Claus (Vince Vaughn) has spent the best part of his life living under his younger brother Nicholas (Paul Giamatti)'s shadow. When your sibling happens to be Santa, it's not easy living up to his example. While Nicholas became a much-loved legend, Fred became a repo-man. Now Fred's shady dealings have caught up with him and he faces a stretch in jail unless he can come up with a good deal of cash. His only recourse is to turn to his brother. Over the objections of his wife (Miranda Richardson), Nicholas agrees to help his brother on one condition: he comes to work in Santa's toy shop to earn the money he needs. Will the irascible Fred cope with his elvish duties or will he cause a calamitous Christmas for all?
