Four Christmases Trailers

Brad and Kate have made something of an art form out of avoiding their families during the holidays, but this year their foolproof plan is about go bust -- big time. Stuck at the city airport after all departing flights are canceled, the couple is embarrassed to see their ruse exposed to the world by an overzealous television reporter. Now, Brad and Kate are left with precious little choice other than to swallow their pride and suffer the rounds.

Four Christmas is in my opinion, a very futile and poor attempt at a comedy movie. Reese Witherspoon, who I usually love, I didn't care for here, she just didn't suit in her role and in this film overall. Vince Vaughn was just being his usual silly self throughout the entire movie. Mary Steenburgen was enjoyable in here, so was Kristin Chenoweth. They were really the only performances I liked. The segments in the movie were not funny, and they were annoying. Tim McGraw was the most irritating here, Vaughn's family was mediocre and just over the top with the annoyance. The film is uneven and the pacing is sort of off in my opinion. This "comedy" just falls flat and doesn't give us any laughs really. 3/10 :/.

Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon) are very selfish people. They both hate marriage and kids. They can't stand their family or quite frankly any family. They lie to everybody about their Christmas plans and try to vacation in Fiji. Only they are stranded when weather shuts down all the flights. Their families find out their canceled plans when they are surprised on a live TV report. The couple is then forced to visit 4 sets of family Christmases.This is not a likable couple, and Vince Vaughn is stuck playing the same annoying character as he also does. He needs to try to stretch his acting skills because this fast talking jerk character is getting old. It's especially bad when the movie sucks as bad as this. For a Christmas movie, it is a joyless experience. At least, Reese Witherspoon tries to tap into her charm. In the end, none of it works. None of it is funny.

The point of Christmas movies is to find something that people would enjoy watching that time every year. Sadly, this is not one of those movies. After watching it once, I would not recommend it to anyone. There is no point to it. It isn't funny like it's supposed to be. Nothing interesting happens throughout the whole film. I can't think of anyone who would enjoy this. They are entitled to their opinions, but I don't enjoy this film. If you've never seen it, then don't waste your time with it. The characters in the film can't do what they want to do and decide to spend it with family, which, according to the film, is a bad thing. I really don't get it. Both parents are divorced and there are four separate Christmas celebrations to one day. But that really doesn't make a good movie. Nothing in it was funny and I would steer clear of junk like this.

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.
