Plot
Growing up at the North Pole wasn't easy for Fred
(Vince Vaughn), as he was constantly compared to his virtuous kid
brother. As much as he tried, he could never measure up to Nicholas
Claus (Paul Giamatti), who was the perfect saint. Nick grew up to be
the embodiment of Christmas with his philanthropy and altruistic ways,
whilst his older, disgruntled brother Fred grew up to be the exact
opposite, a callous repo man who then stole whatever he repossessed.
Unfortunately, Fred's deceitfulness finally catches up with him, and
he ends up in jail. Amidst a furor of protests from Mrs. Claus
(Miranda Richardson), Nicholas sympathizes with his brother and bails
him out on one condition: Fred must come back to the North Pole, and
repay his debt by making toys. The trouble though is that he is not
exactly elf material, and with Christmas quickly approaching, Fred's
antics could not only jeopardize the merriest time of the year at the
North Pole, but also for millions of people around the world!
