Fred Clause

[Fence]

I was a little bored yesterday so took my two youngest boys to see Fred Clause.

The movies alright, very predicatable, an immature Vince Vaughn character finds his way into adulthood and along the way saves X-mas.
But if you love the Vince Vaughn banter then its worth seeing. Otherwise save your lunch money and see if on DVD.

I saw that movie the first time it was out, when it was called ELF. Well, okay, maybe not the same movie. But for my money when it comes to Christmas comedies, nothing will ever, EVER top Elf for funnies.

Of course, I may be biased by the fact that I would watch Elf for 10 hours a day from  Black Friday till Christmas when I was working retail. But that just made the time go so much faster.

Umm, 'A Christmas Story' and 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation' say 'Hi'.

Nothing against 'Elf' (I love his 4 food groups) but those other two movies have it all over 'Elf'.

Hey dont forget The Nightmare Before X-mas. Its no slouch either.

You know, I always forget about that one. Not sure why because I own it and watch it every Christmas.

I didn't say those weren't great films. Christmas Story was my #1 fav until Elf came around. And I think you missed this part:

Try watching a film non stop for that long, and you'll grow to hate it 99.9% of the time. I can't seem to sit through more than 2 - 3 viewings of the 24 hours of Christmas Story anymore. But Elf, I never got tired of. I would still laugh at everything.

Again, not saying I don't love it. Hell, my NMBC Collection is almost as large as my SW collection, and I came this close to getting a Skellington tattoo a while back. But Elf still wins, in my book.

All very great movies I think. I can sit and watch them all myself, but then again I like comic christmax movies anyway.

My Dad is trying to get me to go see this with him but i dont think its really his kind of thing, i would probably like it but my Dad doesnt have a great sense of humour so....

i still want to watch this movie but will probably wait till it comes to dvd.
funny thing is all he movie you guys have listed here i watch every year on christmas lol. Elf is amazing but i like National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation best, with NMBC right behind. Earnest saves christmas is another great.

Dang, you must be the king of 'Elf' quotes and trivia.

That is my wife's all-time favorite Christmas movie. We even have the big Hallmark Christmas ornament that sits front & center on our tree every year.
