February 9, 2012This actually isn't too bad, I thought it would be a horrible mess of cuddly, kissing family fun but its quite dark in places and pretty funny in others. Its not GREAT but its certainly one of Mr Vaughan's better films recently, Witherspoon is just annoying as usual.

December 25, 2011Good rom com about a perfect couple who enjoy spending time with each other and not their families. They both come from broken divorced families and are forced to spend Christmas with each family member when their flight to Fiji is cancelled. Good cast.

Seems intent on being as generic and lowbrow as possible, with broad slapstick emphasized over witty dialogue or interesting characters. Full Review

Four Christmases is refreshingly tart and lean, forgoing the usual schmaltz and syrup of the season. Full Review

The difference between the average unfunny comedy and this one is the difference between Grandpa telling you knock-knock jokes and Grandpa telling you knock-knock jokes with his bathrobe open as his h... Full Review

Think of it as fun tear-away wrapping on what's essentially a boring pair of socks. Full Review
