Product Description
Romantic comedy starring Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn as Kate and Brad, a San Francisco couple whose exotic Christmas holiday plans are scuppered by fog. The pair then face the very scenario they had tried to avoid: the obligatory family Christmas. Owing to the divorces of both their sets of parents, the couple are obliged to attend no less than four festive gatherings - a process that leads them to examine both the past and the future in more detail than either of them finds comfortable.

I could have been put off this film by some of the negative reviews but I actually loved this film!!! Thought it had some really good LOL moments. It keeps up the pace the whole way through too and I didn't clock-watch once, which is good sign! Vince Vaughan and Reece Witherspoon seemed an unlikely couple but they worked together.
I enjoyed the whole story concept. How many of us would love to visit all our relatives on Christmas Day!! As both Kate and Brad's parents are divorced it means visiting four separate parents and their partners/family. It's chaotic but very funny. Also it avoids some of the more obvious cliches such as trying to eat four Christmas Dinners which has been done before!
It may not be everybody's humour judging by some of the reviews! but if you enjoy a lighthearted and somewhat quirky comedy with a story behind it then I think you'd enjoy this. It made me feel Christmassy anyway!!! Will definitely be watching this one again!

'Four Christmases' is a romantic comedy with Christmas as the backdrop. The movie had a theatrical release in November 2008 and was a box-office success.
The movie tells the story of a couple (Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon) who are scared to make commitments. The movie also shows what they experience when they visit all four of their divorced parents on Christmas Day.
On watching the movie on DVD, I found it to be an average entertainer with some funny moments that make you laugh. The downside is it's clichéd and lacks the Christmas feeling.
Vince Vaughn is funny as he produces a typical performance. Reese Witherspoon also performs well. The movie also stars the veteran actor, Robert Duvall who is a treat to watch. The direction provided by Seth Gordon is efficient.
The movie did make me laugh on a couple of occassions, which did the job for me since I was not expecting much.
'Four Christmases' is strictly a run of the mill comedy that does not peak.
Recomended if all you're looking for is a few laughs.

I love christmas movies, esp. funny ones and this one is definitely sooooo funny...we laughed a lot!!!
Story is quite easy, a happy american couple is planning their christmas vacation far way from home without any family or issues but then all flights been cancelled and even a TV channel reports at the airport and films them...soooo...their whole family sees it and they are stuck. Now they need to visit both their families...4 of them as mum's and dad's divorced and believe me visiting 4 families in just 1 day over christmas...it's hilarious!!

Christmas Film
Although not hilariously funny, this movie was amusing and even a little sad. A harmless film for Christmas, though not suitable for children.
