Fred talks too fast in this film, anyone else agree?


In this film Vaugn's character talks way too fast in my opinion, particularly for little kids to understand. I'm not sure if it's his 'thing' or if it's just a character quirk but it was annoying cos he constantly did it! And if he tried to make something funny I didn't get it cos he was talking too fast! I think they should've used another actor in the movie but the Paul guy playing Santa (can't spell his last name!) was a very good Santa surprisingly! All in all the film was pleasant to watch and was different. The graphics weren't entirely good but the film did have some unexpectedness which was targeted more at parents. I gave it 6 out of 10. I couldn't decided between 5 and 6 so as it's Christmas I decided to be extra nice :D And it seems to be the only Christmas related film out in the cinemas this year! So disappointing! but I suppose it's hard to think of an original Christmas story anymore.

Hey, I think Vaughn's fast patter was just part of his characterization. I see your point though. There are a couple of other Christmas themed movies out, but his probably can be considered the one "real Christmas movie and probaably the best Christmas movie since 2004.

Vince Vaughn talking fast is just Vince Vaughn being Vince Vaughn. He does that in a lot of his movies, it's like his "thing".

You sound like my grandad. Who died of old age. Maybe you're too old to understand modern people. We should slow down to telegraph speed.

Agreed. My son lost interest very quickly in this movie because he couldn't understand anything Vince was saying.

I liked it though.

I do think the does this in most movies he is in. It does fit the character since the character is a fast talking con artist.
