Four Christmases (Theaters)

Four Christmases was such a huge disappointment for me I’m not even sure where to begin. I had actually expected a decent film based on its strong cast and the trailers released over the course of the year but unfortunately for me, this film did not live up to my expectations.

Now the film wasn’t horrible to say the least, but there was absolutely nothing that stood out for me. The comedic value was mediocre and I never felt any chemistry between co-stars Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon. During the Christmas season, these types of films should help prepare you by getting you into the holiday spirit, but this film seemed to forget it was a Christmas movie altogether. There was absolutely nothing “spirited” about it. The film seemed to focus more on vulgarity and sexual references to get by rather than sharing any real gifts of Christmas to its audience.

Personally, I would recommend that you skip this film this holiday season and wait for its release on DVD. It does have its moments but its definitely not worth the price of admission.
