Plot
When wayward sibling Fred Claus (Vaughn) is bailed out of jail by his saintly brother Nick (Giamatti), he agrees to work at the North Pole for the pre-Christmas rush. But with efficiency expert Clyde (Spacey) plotting to shut down Santa Claus for good, now is a bad time for Fred’s brand of chaos...

Verdict
It creates a seasonal glow, but inconsistencies keep Fred Claus off the ‘Nice’ list this Christmas.
