'Fred Claus' Poster May Be Offensive

I know that Fred Claus is about Santa Claus's brother coming to visit and annoy him for the holidays, but I think there are two ways this could play out.

The bad way: Like Houseguest, starring Sinbad, or Uncle Buck, we're meant to find it amusing that they've created a terribly obnoxious character that we're forced to endure for two hours.

The good way: Like What's Eating Gilbert Grape, we see how even the most giving man on Earth cracks under the pressure of dealing with his screaming, retarded brother.

Originally I would have assumed the first option, but this poster has me thinking we've still got a shot at the good one.
