Fred Claus

Dysfunctional family dynamics dominate this uneven, family-friendly comedy about a grumpy Chicago repo man (Vince Vaughn) who has been estranged from his parents (Kathy Bates and Trevor Peacock) and saintly brother (Paul Giamatti) and his wife (Miranda Richardson) for years finds himself fighting with his meter maid girlfriend (Rachel Weisz) and in need of money to open a business, which prompts him to go to the North Pole for a family visit where he ends up helping Saint Nicholas and his dedicated workers (John Michael Higgins, Ludacris, Elizabeth Banks, et al.) from being closed down by an efficiency expert (Kevin Spacey).
