Fred Claus grew up in his saintly little brother's shadow and became a Chicago repo man; now he needs a loan, and Nick makes him earn it at the North Pole — while an efficiency expert tries to shut Christmas down. Vince Vaughn and Paul Giamatti play it like a real sibling war, because underneath, it is one.
