Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

A couple struggles to visit all four of their divorced parents on Christmas. Four Christmases is no masterpiece and it's clearly something that you have seen before a lot of times but it's an overall good film with both Vince Vaughn & Reese Witherspoon having a really good chemistry together the rest of the cast was really great too such as Jon Favreau, Jon Voight, Sissy Spacek, Robert Duvall, Kristin Chenoweth and Mary Steenburgen. Overall Four Christmases is funny most of the time and the chemistry between the whole cast is really good but if you except anything more than that you gonna be left disappointed (9/10).

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 :/.

I love this movie. I first saw it over Christmas time, in Hawaii, whilst on vacation. I only saw half of it, and finally finished it a few weeks later, when I was at home. I thought it was going to be about four years worth of Christmases, not four different family get-togethers in one Christmas season.In this movie, Kate and Brad, longtime couple, always tell their families that they're doing something really important, like feeding the hungry in Africa or helping children in poor countries. Instead of actually doing those things, they go on a vacation. Whilst in the airport, waiting to catch their flight, the fog in San Francisco is too bad to fly in. The news asks them questions about how they're feeling, which airs, and their families find out that they've been lying for years. They get roped into going to see their families. We see Kate's Mother, Kate's Father, who are divorced. We also see Brad's Father, and his brothers, who are really big red- necks, and Brad's Mother, who are also divorced. Don't worry, everything works out in the end.Overall, I give this movie an 8 out of 10.

Maybe you have to be a man to like this film. I hated most of it, to the point that the best part of the film was the ending.Packed full of wonderful stars that obviously had nothing better to do, or were desperate for the money ... as I can see no other reason to be in this disaster.It was nice to see Sissy Spacek, but the part was totally beneath her as an actress of great acclaim and talent. But that can be said for many of those that appeared in this prelude to a panic attack. I rate this film one star above Pee Wee's Christmas DVD ... which remains my all-time favorite personality to avoid at any cost! This DVD goes in the trash.Well, there you have it ... my opinion about this piece of crapola that literally caused me to be nauseous, as well as to have a panic attack! If I was related to these disgusting characters ... I'd send my Christmas List to the AlQaida network in Iraq!
