Fred Claus

Ryan and I are going to go see Fred Claus tonight. I am pumped. I love the Christmas season and fun Christmas movies (like Elf or How the Grinch Stole Christmas) makes me SMILE. :) I hope this one is a winner. Here is a short plot synopsis of the movie:

CONTAINS SPOILERS (apparently) Fred Claus has lived his entire life in his brother's very large shadow. Fred tried, but could hardly live up to the example set by the younger Nicholas, who was just a perfect, well, saint. True to form, Nicholas (a.k.a Santa Claus) grew up to be the model of giving, while Fred became the polar opposite: a fast-talking repo man who's run out of luck and money. Eventually Fred's bad behavior catches up with him and he is sent to jail. His only recourse is to turn to his brother. Over Mrs. Claus' objections, Nicholas agrees to help his brother on one condition: that he come to the North Pole and earn the money he needs by working in Santa's Toy Shop. The trouble is that Fred isn't exactly elf material and cut out for creating toys and spreading good cheer.
