2karl- so a film comes along for Xmas as this is kind of reality in a way so this film is 1hr 28mins of fun filled angst if you been through it with this all star cast means that the star couple question each others ideas of commitment as they are test to the limit of their own moral ground they try and get away brad and Kate (resse Witherspoon and Vince Vaughan ) they are brilliant in this relationship issues film but anyway the like going away each Xmas to keep away from their family as their respective parents are with other people so with holidays booked and nature decides that Kate and brad are dealt a severe blow to their ideas and get found out in certain media so they have to meet brad father Robert duvall character Howard who likes to drink and play hard along with his son Orlando and Denver who beat the crap out him and play decides a certain present would be good so this cause havoc so meet their other families in this film like when they play Jesus and brad takes the lead in the nativity play this buts questions into Kate head about children as she had a rough childhood plus brad dis like of spewing from children plus a quiz all the couples seem compatible to each other apart from 2 guess who this film is fun and gross but you will be laughing i saw this in the cinemas i give this 7/10 one of the better ROM com Xmas movies his mother her mother her mother his father all in one day this is my 119 review

tieman64 Directed by Seth Gordon, "Four Christmases" stars Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn as a couple who visit the homes of four relatives during the Christmas holidays. As these relatives as "quirky", much hilarity ensues.When it's attempting to be "dramatic", "touching" and "sweet", "Four Christmases" is mostly inept. When it's attempting to put forth a message – our lead characters teach us the importance of marriage and procreation - the film is even worse. Elevating things slightly are some funny moments by actor Vince Vaughn, whose improvisations and dead-pan ramblings help breakup Gordon's formulaic script. Jon Favreau steals the show as Vaughn's bizarre sibling.5/10 – Worth one viewing.

myspecialparadise Maybe you have to be a man to like this film. I hated most of it, to the point that the best part of the film was the ending.Packed full of wonderful stars that obviously had nothing better to do, or were desperate for the money ... as I can see no other reason to be in this disaster.It was nice to see Sissy Spacek, but the part was totally beneath her as an actress of great acclaim and talent. But that can be said for many of those that appeared in this prelude to a panic attack. I rate this film one star above Pee Wee's Christmas DVD ... which remains my all-time favorite personality to avoid at any cost! This DVD goes in the trash.Well, there you have it ... my opinion about this piece of crapola that literally caused me to be nauseous, as well as to have a panic attack! If I was related to these disgusting characters ... I'd send my Christmas List to the AlQaida network in Iraq!

Boxer_007 The beginning you would think could lead to a funny modern family movie. Not this time.There is not much too say really,a very unoriginal script,fancy and refurbished actors,unrealistic settings...and I could go on.This is just a mediocre holiday movie,that if on TV is worth a watch,but not necessary. Some may find it similar to the Focker's or Meet the parents,but not nearly as hilarious. There are a lot more better and funnier Christmas movies out there,even if you have already seen them before.My rate is a low 4,maybe 5 on a snowy day.
