This film may have its origins in a song entitled Jesus' Brother Bob which my friend Joey G. told me about before, or even Monty Python's Life of Brian. After all, what could be worse than being the black sheep of the family compared to such a well-loved figure.As it is, this movie's antics are old: the look of the North Pole from Tim Allen's Santa Clause films, and the worn out path of someone having to replace Santa in the sled for Christmas night.
It was also a little uncomfortable to see them use the same CG technology in Little Man for pasting the face of a regular human onto the body of someone vertically challenged to portray the elves.
The best part of this movie is the group therapy session Fred goes to where he sees Frank Stallone, Roger Clinton and Stephen Baldwin. They were good sports to play themselves, although too bad it wasn't in a better made movie.
