Trivia:
Kevin Spacey's character Clyde asks for (and later receives) a Superman cape from Santa Claus. Spacey played Lex Luthor in Superman Returns (2006). In that film, in an idea lifted from Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze (1975), the Kryptonian had a base of operations at the North Pole, just as Claus does in this film.

Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: The first snowball Santa throws during his snowball fight with Fred has clearly been "pre-rolled" for him to grab quickly in the fake snow.

Quotes:
Fred Claus:
You're gonna get hooked on that thing. I can see it now. Sixteen thousand bags of Cheetos later, you'll wake up, you're thirty-five, you're overweight, you're crying about your life in front of the soaps. I just did you a favor. You get outside, play around...

As an avid lover of traditional Christmas movies, I was not expecting a lot out of Fred Claus. However, I bought it because I wanted something new for my 6 year old, and I really like Vince Vaughn. Many people I talked to didn't like Fred Claus because Vince Vaughn is "the same as he is in every movie." I happen to love that. The rest of the cast was A+ and gave perfect performances. I LOVED THIS MOVIE and would recommend it to anyone who loves Christmas! There were so many funny parts as well as heart warming sweet moments that this movie was one that my 6 year old son and I could enjoy together. I'm glad I skipped renting and just bought this movie as it will be one I look forward to every year.
