    Every big American actor seems to put their career through one of these meat grinder projects... they usually blame it on their children, saying things like,"I just wanted to make a film I could watch with my child!" Last time I checked, Vince doesn't have any children, so it's a totally money grab piece of shit with no alibi.

    As far as crappy Christmas movies go it is a little bit crappier than the first Santa Clause and barely better than the Santa Clause 2.

    The meaning of Christmas. I don't want to know and to think that giving baseball bats and hollahoops is ever going to redeem a little kid's faith in Christmas.

    Nice movie about the history of Santa Claus. However, it introduces a new aspect. You meet Santa's family. Anything with Vince Vaugh is funny.

    I really good chistmas film mainly aimed at the adult audience. I just loved Kevin Spacey as the bad guy, and a really funny scene that i will not spoil involving Spacey. Never been the biggest fan of Vince Vaughn, but warmed to him a lot in this !!!

    Much funnier than I though it would be, and I was laughing out loud. Vince Vaughn gives an excellent performance!

    Not brilliant, but there are some laugh-out-loud parts here and it is certainly much more entertaining than a lot of other Christmas films on offer. Brilliant cast, too, which will keep you entertained.

    If you ever wanted to see the rest of Santa Claus' family (and all their disorientedness), than this is the movie for you.

    A well written story about Santa Clause's brother that has a few belly laughs and tear jerking moments. It's rated PG for social drinking and some language.

    Much funnier than I though it would be, we took our kids to watch it and my wife and I were the ones laughing out loud. Vince Vaughn gives an excellent performance!

    A sincere movie that tried to market Vaughn's comedic talent and failed miserably. There were a few good laughs, but this is what happens to a great story idea and a weak screenwriter. The whole projects suffers because it doesn't know what it wants to be and doesn't know how to be sincere and funny.

    I really enjoyed this movie, despite all my expectations. This would make a great companion to Elf during a lazy winter afternoon. The plot is nothing special, but it's the unique laughs that the film produces which made it so enjoyable. The main character was well suited to Vince Vaugh, Kevin Spacey was awesome, and Giamatti made a great Saint Nick. My favorites, however, were the guest stars at the "Siblings Anonymous" meeting. I'm still wondering where Eli Manning was, though.

    This isn't as crap as it looks, but it'll never be a Christmas classic. The film's quite funny and the morals are quite sweet, but there's nothing in here that hasn't been done before. The CGI isn't excellent, but it's enough to make the film enjoyable. Nothing out of the ordinary, but quite good fun to watch.

    I laughed in this movie but the stuff I found funny would go over the heads of most kids...and even some parents!

    I liked the movie, but not for kids. I didn't think I was going to like it and ended up seeing it twice. Interesting story. Well done.

    Funny and unique but I like Vince Vaughn when he is acting at about a 7 instead of his usual 1,000,000. His rambling and improvising are going the way of Robin Williams or Jim Carrey in interviews... in coherrent and hard on the head. Stick to the script - no wonder the writers are on strike.

    Not terrible but not very good. The kids in the beginning were adorable! It went downhill from there. What this movie is is a huge waste of talent. I mean Kevin Spacey? Come on! His character wanted to be Superman which I have a problem with because he was freaking Lex Luthor! Ugh. Anyway, Vince Vaughn is charming and smarmy as usual. My biggest problem with the movie is that people don't seem to think that Santa really exists. But how do these non-believers explain the mysterious presents that show up under the tree? If you make up rules in your universe, you gotta follow them.

    Really a kids movie. But always enjoy anything where Vince Vaughn is dancing around. Not one of his better movies.

    where is the kid in you and make believe? Its a time for God and Jesus's birthday and the miracles of christmas. Take awe in everything god created and watch the movie in a childs eyes. it's beautiful. Ever see tim allen in the santa clause? Or when tim allen has to take a wife in mrs santa clause. I may be a grandma ,but I still love the way children see make believe and still believe in magic.
