Fred Claus
Fred Claus is a 2007 American Christmas comedy film directed by David Dobkin, written by Dan Fogelman from a story by Fogelman and Jessie Nelson, and starring Vince Vaughn, Paul Giamatti, Miranda Richardson, John Michael Higgins, Elizabeth Banks, Rachel Weisz, Kathy Bates, Trevor Peacock, Ludacris, and Kevin Spacey. It is loosely based on the poem "A legend of Santa and his brother Fred" written by Donald Henkel.
The film was first announced in October 2005 with Mike Mitchell attached to direct.
The film was released in the United States on November 9, 2007, by Warner Bros. Pictures. It received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics and was a box-office bomb, grossing $97.8 million worldwide against the production budget of $100 million.
In the Middle Ages, the young boy Fred Claus eventually gets a younger brother named Nick. He grows up in the shadow of the younger, due to Nick's selfless and kind attitude which constantly wins the approval of their family over Fred. Their strained relationship is permanently damaged when Nick cuts down a tree, inadvertently destroying the bird house in which Fred's bird Chirp Chirp lived. Due to Nick's generous and helpful personality, he is deemed a Saint, and the family is gifted with immortality.
In the present, Saint Nick has become the modern-day Santa Claus, delivering gifts to the children of the world, while Fred has become a Chicago repossession agent. He lives alone and is friends with orphan Samuel "Slam" Gibbons. In an attempt to raise seed money to open an illegal casino plan, Fred is arrested for collecting donations, similar to a Salvation Army employee, but has no permit. His girlfriend Wanda then breaks up with him, as he unintentionally stood her up for her birthday dinner, and he is fired from his job.
Fred asks Nick for bail and the seed money. He only agrees on the condition that he comes to the North Pole to work for the money. Just before leaving, Slam asks Fred to pretend to be his father but ends up being taken away and sent to an orphanage.
Head Elf Willie escorts Fred to the North Pole. Nick gives him the task of assigning children as naughty or nice based on their behavior. Efficiency expert Clyde Northcutt, from an agency which monitors the activities of supernatural entities, arrives to analyze the North Pole's dwindling performance on a three-strike assessment.
Fred picks a fight with the workshop's DJ Donnie after he plays "Here Comes Santa Claus" non-stop. The disruption causes a disruption that leads to Northcutt assigning the North Pole their first strike. Nick sandbags Fred into having dinner that evening with their parents.
