Product Description

When your significant other tells you you both need an exit "safe word" before you enter his dad's Christmas gathering, you know you're not in Bedford Falls. But while Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon may not be It's a Wonderful Life's George and Mary Bailey, Four Christmases is a modern holiday classic in its own right. For one thing, every family neurosis and dysfunction have taken root in the four families of Vaughn and Witherspoon's characters, Brad and Kate--and the sleek yuppie façade each has built with the other is about to come tumbling down. There are real belly laughs as the couple unexpectedly has to spend holidays with their four extended family groups. "I don't want to speak ill of your mother on Christmas," growls Howard (Robert Duvall) to son Brad, while Brad's bullnecked ultimate-fighter brothers are rassling everything in sight, "but she's nothing but a common street whore." Brad may cringe, but Kate's own family is about to mortify her in abundant ways, from her randy "Gram-Gram" and about-to-pounce cougar mom Mary Steenburgen ("I feel like a Saudi prince in here," marvels Brad as all of Kate's female relatives drape themselves over him), to the revelation to Brad that Kate used to be--how to put this--a bit on the chubby side. If the plot isn't full of surprises, the quips are nonstop and the acting believable and charming. The supporting cast also includes Sissy Spacek, Jon Voight, Jon Favreau and Dwight Yoakam in a memorable turn as the mega-church pastor Steenburgen's character is involved with. It's a comic Christmas blessing, and there'll be no need to say "mistletoe"--at least not till the viewers are home with their own families. --A.T. Hurley

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!

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.

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.

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.
