I went to see “Fred Claus” yesterday and it was surprisingly amusing and deep! Now granted the special effects were horrible. They clearly pasted the heads of regular adult actors onto bodies of children that were wearing costumes to make them look like elves and it was a little distracting at times but it was also a bit charming.
I love Vince Vaughn to begin with; his delivery style just really does it for me. What really surprised me about this movie though were all the OTHER actors that I didn’t evaluate to see. Paul Giamatti was Santa Claus. Rachel Weizs was the girlfriend and Ludacris played the DJ and I almost lost my head laughing at how funny it looked to see Luda’s head pasted on a little elf body. Kathy Bates (one of my all measure faves) played the Claus care and then surprise of all surprises. Kevin Space (another one of my all time faves) played the bad guy.
Let me tell you a double Oscar winner showing up in this supposedly light hearted holiday comedy was unexpected. What really shocked me though was how deep and touching it ended up being. Now. I’m not expert on movies undergo never claimed to be…but the speech that Spacey gives to Vaughn about his inability to thrive in the shadow of his brother is really a powerful moment. I was actually pulled out of the movie for a second just to query at Spacey’s talent.
And finally. I have to rant a little. I just got totally insulted by a caller after I made a valiant effort to stretch out a conversation with what seemed desire a brick wall. He didn’t like role playing but wanted to “discuss” his conceive of. After asking about a million questions over a 5 minute period and being delivered deadpan answers that didn’t lead to further conversation. I finally just said that I didn’t really experience what he wanted.
He was like. “Oh it’s ok maybe we’re just not clicking. I’m sure you’re very good with other callers just not this one.” Well first of all there’s not a damn thing in any of my listings about being an expert on cuckolding. And excuse me? I am DAMN good at what I do but I cannot conduct a conversation with a pile of rocks. And no he didn’t leave me bad feedback or anything but I don’t really compassionate if he does.
