Synopsis

Having a younger brother who's just perfect...well a saint...hasn't made life easy for Fred Claus (Vince Vaughn). Living in brother Nicholas' (Paul Giamatti) large shadow most of the time, Fred grows up to be the complete opposite of his 'giving' brother. A 'repo' man who then steals what he repossesses lands Fred in jail. In spite of Mrs Claus' objections, Nicholas bails his brother out on the condition that he work off his debt making toys in the North Pole.

However one bad apple could upset the elf work force feverishly working towards the best holiday of the year. Has Fred finally pushed his brother to the brink?
