A movie only for the holidays, 23 December 2008
6/10
Author: barrys82 from Mexico

Four Christmases is at first sight the typical X-Mas movie where a couple tries to avoid to spend X-Mas with their family but because of a series of circumstances they have no other choice to do it, the difference is that they couple will spend four Christmases in one day. The story is good with moments of very good humor and the plot is very well developed and convincing enough. The cast is very good Vince Vaughn in his typical role of a guy who isn't very attached with his family is hilarious, Reese Witherspoon performance is very funny also, she is like very natural with this kind of comedy. Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, Jon Voight complements the cast with very good performances from all three. In conclusion, this movie only purpose is to entertain in this holiday season and I think it really fulfills it.
