Four Christmases vs Fred Claus - Blu-ray Forum

Deadset · 12-12-2008, 02:26 PM

For those that have seen both, which is better?

We just got Fred Claus in the mail via netflix and it was very average. I like Vince Vaughn so I hope this newer Christmas movie is better. We are planning on going to Four Christmases either this weekend or next.

Fred Claus had some pretty good parts, however the overall message of how "all kids are good" just didn't set well with me... whatever happened to be good and Santa will visit?

To me, Four Christmases edges out Fred Claus just based on John Favreau's performance. He's not in many scenes, but he is absolutely great in them. Very funny, actually the funniest part of the whole film, imho.

Just on previews of "Fred Claus", blech.

But I have seen Four Christmas's and it was HI-Larious.

I didn't see 4 Christmases yet but I saw Fred Clause...I wasn't impressed. Worth a rental, if that.

Hated the trailers for Fred Clause, but actually thought the movie was pretty good. Liked it better than Elf.

Haven't seen 4 Christmases.
