Four Christmases
Maybe everything changes when two people fail to spend their favorite holidays. The story began when their plans for a strange holiday collapse. At that moment, both unmarried couples, Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon), should spend Christmas Day suffering to visit all four divorced parents, which may seem annoying and strange.

Gordon's stars are charmless, his script cheerless, and his sterling supporting cast can't seem to figure out what they've been brought on board to do.

About as predictable as socks under the tree.

Seems intent on being as generic and lowbrow as possible, with broad slapstick emphasized over witty dialogue or interesting characters.

Maybe if Four Christmases had extended itself beyond white trash targets and projectile vomiting, we could've been talking about a new Christmas classic right now.

This is marginally better than most, with a few offbeat comic ideas, a reliably droll performance from Vaughn, and, as the parents, four watchable old troupers in search of a fat paycheck.
