This is without a doubt one of the worst movies of 2008. The movie suffers from the lack of chemistry between Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon. It's the core of the movie and we never believe in them as a couple.... Full review

Vince Vaughn really needs to stop doing holiday movies. Why would anyone want to see the cynical and sarcastic comic do a Christmas movie? Considering this is his second one in as many years, someone has it in their head that... Full review

Four Christmases is at first sight the typical X-Mas movie where a couple tries to avoid to spend X-Mas with their family but because of a series of circumstances they have no other choice to do it, the difference is that... Full review

The movie has all of the potential to be a great comedy classic, but it seems to have to much Vaughn influence in the writing. Jon Favreau should have taken more control in creating this movie because his character was the... Full review
Has about as much Christmas spirit as a Friday the 13th film - although the horny characters are still present.

It's been a while since Hollywood gave us a genuinely good Christmas movie worth seeing. If you notice, the Christmas TV line-up is the same each year and the most modern film usually on the list is THE SANTA CLAUSE (1993).... Full review

I'm making my list of the year's worst movies and checking it twice to make sure this movie is on it.
What follows is a series of failed gags involving Vince Vaughn getting beat up and thrown around, and Reese Witherspoon being spit up on by babies and being attacked by children in a Moonbounce.

After an hour and a half of "Four Christmases," I am particularly thankful for the following reasons: 1) I do not have an aunt that chucked my friends and me around an inflatable castle jumping bed in tender formative childhood years.
Even with its trite rom-com cookie-cutter characters, it has its moments of chaotic hilarity.

Four Christmases works because of some genuinely funny setups, a pace that never dwells on one gag (or even one family) too long and a careful mix of slapstick and bawdy humor
But mostly, the film works because of the astonishing acting talent the filmmakers brought together to make it.
