1) Kathy Bates has been playing loving, clingy mothers for so long that I'm starting to forget she once smashed a guy's feet with a sledgehammer.
2) That scrumptious Elizabeth Banks is showing a lot of cleavage for a kid's movie.
3) Somebody call a doctor...Vince Vaughn seems to have been neutered by Warner Brothers!
4) Wait, should I be laughing yet? The movie has been playing for 40 minutes now and my gut is not even close to being busted.
5) Paul Giamatti should either play Santa as 100% Mister Nice Guy or as a hypocritical putz...not a weak mixture of both.
6) Will Ferrell in Elf got more laughs in 3 minutes than all of Fred Claus is getting.
7) Man, this theatre is small. I can hear the heater running. It's almost as loud as the dialogue. This isn't really a complaint, though.
8) Elizabeth Banks' looooooow neckline is saving this disaster from being a total disaster.
9) Kevin Spacey is one of those "one movie a year" guys...and as a discriminating movie-maker, he chooses to do THIS script?
10) Alright,now HERE'S a funny scene---Siblings Anonymous.
11) A Vince Vaughn riff without a few F bombs is basically a waste of F'ing time.
12) Yeah, Miss Banks, one day your body and beauty will be put to good use by a funnier director. Hey, she's in Kevin Smith's next movie. There ya go!
13) Oh, no, the climax of this "comedy" has cranked up the schmaltz meter. Brother, you've got to earn your schmaltz.
14) Santa Claus' jerky older brother is a great concept. Too bad they did squat with it.
15) Well, that sucked. I wonder if it's still snowing outside...
