The Warner Brothers' movie "Fred Claus" starring Vince Vaughn (Santa's brother) and Paul Giamatti (Santa) is just another Christmas and Santa Clause movie without Tim Allen.It reminds me of the 2003 movie "Elf" starring Will Farrell but only with Vaughn.
Dont' get me wrong, Vaughn is a great actor and co-producer for the movie, but it lacks the spark that "Elf" and the "Santa Claus" movies, especially last year's third installment in the series had.
"Fred Clause" did not have a good opening at the box office, and it continues to drop each week. Vaughn is the only character with any of the funny lines, and it just seems like every other Christmas movie that comes out every year.
Rottentomatoes.com says that, "22 percent liked it. A slew of talent is wasted in this contrived Christmas film."
What we need is something new and fresh from Hollywood. Not remakes or the same movie with different stars with just a few things different every year. Where are the creative forces in this world anymore? Because, they are certainly not in Hollywood.
