Four Christmases Vince Vaughn Reese Witherspoon

Most people did not like this movie.  I heard conflicting reviews from this film.  mountainx.com Ken Hanke said "Four Christmases, a film so monstrously awful that it will probably make a fortune, spawn sequels and cause a mania for gags involving projectile-vomiting babies.", which by the way I thought was a very funny part.  And npr.org Bob Mondello said "Gordon's stars are charmless, his script cheerless, and his sterling supporting cast can't seem to figure out what they've been brought on board to do....", ouch...  Critics just did not like this movie...

I would have to disagree with all of them.  Maybe because I am a little scrooge myself.  But I really got into the concept of tow unmarried people that have terrible dysfunctional families that they rather not visit on Christmas.  Here is the backdrop.  Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon) every Christmas ditch going to see their divorced parents.  Instead they make up stories about saving children in third world countries to go on their real vacations to places like Fuji.  The problem is that this year as they try to get their boarding passes at the airport they find out that their plane has been canceled due to bad weather.  Enragged Brad starts to argue with the ticket counter representative which draws the attention of the news carriers who are covering the story of passengers not able to leave the area before Christmas.  LIVE on TV Brad and Kate are asked where they were going for Christmas and are forced to speak of their plans for traveling to Fuji.  The story is seen live by both of their families and immediately their phone start ringing for them to come visit family for the vacation.  Thus, Brad and Kate are forced to visit Four families, the mothers and fathers of each for Christmas.  The twist is that neither have ever introduced each other to their families, nor have they explained how dysfunctional everyone was.  Come to find out neither Kate or Brad really knew each other after all.

I thought that this film was very funny.  But I have a sick since of humor.  So, I really enjoy movies like this.  This movie is not meant to be serious.  It does start to get a little serious towards the end but the transition has a normal flow.  I recommend that people judge for themselves.  If your a serious person you probably would not like this movie.  But, if not go see this one.  You should get a good laugh.
