"Badly written, badly acted, badly directed, really sicky and horrible and nasty, and does demonstrate that probably Christmas has been overtaken by [Satan](Devil)" - _Mark Kermode, BBC Radio 5live_
[Vince Vaughn](Vince_Vaughn) [Christmas movie](Top_10_Christmas_movies) that made [Mark](Mark_Kermode) sick. The plot posits that St Nicholas has a lesser-known brother. The film claims that when being made a saint, one automatically becomes immortal, as do all of their family. Logically this hit the problem that in order to become a saint, the very first qualification is to be dead. Relatedly, Fred Claus doesn't age in many hundreds of years, making him effectively a vampire and the film a horror movie waiting to happen.
Like [Little Man](Little_Man), the film had the heads of other actors pasted over the heads over little person actors, something Mark felt to be a "very, very bad thing" and rather like blacking up. Like [Good Luck Chuck](Good_Luck_Chuck), Mark felt the film was [obscene](Obscene) in the Greek sense.
