Description

This is a story you've never heard before, a hilarious and heartwarming comedy about Fred Claus, Santa's brother – and complete opposite. After growing up in saintly Nick's shadow, Fred becomes a grouch who's lost his belief in Christmas. Then, one magical December, Fred flies north (first class via reindeer) to find brother Nick is in trouble: a scheming efficiency expert is out to shut down Christmas forever! Expect fun by the sleighful as Fred helps save Christmas and rediscovers the gift of family. Join Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamatti, Miranda Richardson, Rachel Weisz, Kathy Bates, Kevin Spacey and more in a yuletide treat to enjoy for years to come.

    I had no interest in this movie when it came out, but a friend kept telling me to give it a chance so I did, and I’m glad I did since I really enjoyed it. Very fun movie with the whole Christmas heartfelt moment. I recommend seeing it

    I’m getting a lot of audio errors and lagging audio with playing this on my iPhone, iPad, and on my TV. my internet is 500 Mbps and every other movie works fine and play 4K easy. But this HD Movie keeps glitching and I’m getting the audio going bad every minute

    This is a Christmas film, it isn’t designed to earn an Oscar for best significance to Hollywood, be an art-film or anything other than an addition to Rudolph! If you’re looking for a warm and fuzzy entertaining afternoon or Saturday viewing with the family this is a win! It’s funny (Vince Vaughn and Rachel Weisz are solid), good storytelling ( it does run a bit long, but in the era of covid that’s ok). It also strikes at family drama and forgiveness that we all need sometimes. Thanks to iTunes for making it an inexpensive addition to the holiday library. Watch it and Happy Holidays to Everyone! 2020 has been a tough year! May we all find Santa !

  • Deserves much more credit!

    I flippin love this movie. Giving out a few copies this year as gifts. The most under-apperciated Christmas movie ever made. It's so funny & also has some seriously emotional scenes. The Superman scene & the elves watching the snow globe ending is on par with It's Wonderful Life most tearjerking moments. Plus so many great VVaugnh moments. "Watch the angles. Don't drink the Kool-aid. You're better than that."
