Also on Blu-ray.Įxtras: widescreen and full-screen versions on same disc commentary additional scenes include surprisingly violent renditions of sequences that made the final cut. The requisite sentimental holiday ending works well enough to make this a good pick for kids. She doesn’t do much but it’s nice to see her.
Elizabeth Banks again pops up, this time as Santa’s time-management specialist. Although “Fred” could use more wit, the writing’s serviceable and there’s an amusing sequence with Ludicris as an elf, acting as toy-shop DJ. The film delivers a cute bit about a Siblings Anonymous group (check out the longer versions in the extras). But, unless you’re a Vaughn fan, you’ll probably find Fred’s act a turn-off, though not as much as Hancock’s. Santa’s snowy town looks like a kid’s fantasy and the elf-populated toy factory could delight any age. Self-involved like Hancock, the lanky slacker hampers Santa’s chances to keep Christmas on schedule by messing with the elves’ assembly line and playing into the hands of a sneaky efficiency expert (Kevin Spacey) eager to stamp “Closed” on Santa’s shop. In “Fred Claus,” Santa’s resentful, screw-up older brother Fred (Vince Vaughn) hops a reindeer flight to the North Pole after agreeing to work for his saintly sib (Paul Giamatti emoting with watery eyes) to pay a debt and earn a grubstake. Also on Blu-ray.Įxtras: So-so gag reel and featurette on DVD, more on Blu-ray. Schmaltz leaks from the captain’s falling for a widow (the ubiquitous Elizabeth Banks) and, as the spaceship, bonding with her young son. The laughs come from Murphy’s well-timed gags, and hits outnumber misses. He and his crew are after a missing small metal ball created to drain Earth’s oceans, providing the salt necessary for the aliens’ planet to survive. But his attempts to blend with shoppers at a Gap outlet using what he thinks is a natural smile and a human greeting (“Welcome to the Gap”) are all his own, and they grow creepier with each repetition. His handshake routine owes everything to Harpo Marx.
If you remember Monty Python’s “Ministry of Silly Walks” routine, you’ll have an idea of Murphy’s shtick. Most of the humor comes from Murphy-as-spaceship trying to act human and fit in.
