Boston Globe "Fred Claus" sells you something you didn't know you wanted: a Vince Vaughn Christmas movie. Wesley Morris

Chicago Tribune ...the most important thing about Christmas appears to be gifts... Matt Pais

filmcritic.com ...a fragile premise stuffed with hollow Christmas jokes that would collapse in a holiday heap if not for Vaughn's demonstrated charms. Sean O'Connell

Reelviews The movie is passable in a made-for-TV fashion, but the problem is that it isn't made-for-TV. James Berardinelli

Seattle Post-Intelligencer It may not be a new holiday classic, but at least it's funny. Andy Spletzer

USA Today ...as derivative and predictable as any of the holiday comedies of the past few years... Claudia Puig
