Love it!Review by Mary Ann Bibee, 2010-06-29
It was way after Christmas when our family watched this movie, trust me, it is as funny in June as it is in December! Be prepared to find a member or two of your own family in this movie! It is so funny that I would NOT recommend the drinking of anything while trying to watch it, it will quickly come shooting out of your nose!
Buy it used
Review by Heather English, 2010-06-27
I would say this movie is worth buying albeit used. One thing that disappointed me was there are no bonus features! None. Just the movie. I was hoping they'd add deleted scenes and an alternate ending.
There are some very funny moments in this movie but then there are places where you want to fast forward and just go to the next scene.
It's not your typical holiday movie which is nice.
not great but still watchable
Review by Thomas H. Bilbrey, 2010-06-26
i thought this was a good movie i mean yea it aint the best but to me vince vaughn is great in juss about anything he does and of course this movie seems to be a bit unpolished with juss a few flaws but i still think its well worth the watch
Four Christmases
Review by ASU Mom, 2010-06-08
I wanted this DVD for 2 reasons: 1) I really like the actors & 2) I'm a Christmas junkie & wanted to add another Christmas movie to my stash! I was expecting some of the situations, but not all - didn't realize they wouldn't "like" Christmas, but was glad it wasn't (another) updated Scrooge story. Thought the parents were pretty good "characters" but his mom with his best friend was a bit "icky" for me...Vince's brothers were a bit over the top, too.
All-in-all, a movie I would watch a couple of times a Christmas Season. I would give it a 7.5 on a scale of 1-10.
Has Its Moments, But Still Predictable
Review by D. Mikels, 2010-05-04
Tell me you want a predictable, formulaic comedy and I will promptly suggest you should watch FOUR CHRISTMASES. A self-absorbed, yuppie couple (Vince Vaughn, Reese Witherspoon) that historically avoids their extended families over the Yuletide (using outrageous philanthropic lies to explain why they're not available) suddenly finds itself outed via San Fran TV when their flight to Fiji gets cancelled (they are interviewed on camera after telling their families they were en route to Burma to help orphans). Thus they must spend the Holidays with their families; and because both sets of parents are divorced, they have four houses to visit.
Over the course of these visits the viewer knows darn well there is going to be awkwardness, hostility, anger, confusion, denial, guilt--heck, name the emotion; plus over the course of the story the viewer also knows the couple's relationship is going to be stressed, tested, questioned, ended, then reconciled. So with such a formulaic set of circumstances, how does the viewer complete this journey?
Through some fine moments of sheer comedic bliss. Vaughn can still do physical comedy, and his brothers (Jon Favreau, Tim McGraw) and father (Robert Duvall) by far offer the most hysterical scenes of this film. Mary Steenburgen (playing Witherspoon's mother) is remarkably well-preserved (roar, cougar, roar), and Sissy Spacek anchors another funny scene as part of the family plays a silly board game. There are also lame parts (the church Christmas play was a stinker) definitely moronic, and the ending is weak, but FOUR CHRISTMASES does offer more chuckles than yawns.
