Four Christmases

So what do you get when you combine low expectations, some good one liners, and Vince Vaughn?

I was never a huge Vince fan. I mean Wedding Crashers was decent, The Break-Up was alright & Dodgeball was mehh. Its well known that Vince, or his characters rather, are known for their short & choppy, witty, rapid fire dialogue. It’s back again in this flick, as Reese Witherspoon does little to help the plot, aside from the JumpJump scene where she is entrapped by little kids, in search for her [negative] pregnancy test. Her acting was bland. I think between her and Vince, the chemistry was just not there.

This should also be said: The film is rated PG-13 and there is a segment regarding the Santa secret, so be forewarned. The unwritten rule is broken.

Basically, if you’ve seen Role Models, and Quantum of Solace, Four Christmases is your last resort for a movie to catch until next Friday when the new Keanu Reeves film, The Day the Earth Stood Still hits theaters. That will be sure to be a hit. /sarcasm

Soooo…
Q: What do you get when you combine low expectations, some good one liners, and Vince Vaughn?
A: A few laughs, a decent movie, good Vince acting. Not a Vince fan, rent it in a few months. Not a Christmas classic, but a good comedy.

My opinion: 3/5
