Documentarian Seth Gordon (THE KING OF KONG: A FISTFUL OF QUARTERS) makes his feature film directorial debut with FOUR CHRISTMASES. Kate (Reese Witherspoon) and Brad (Vince Vaughn) are a happily unmarried couple who avoid spending Christmas with their families at all costs and instead travel to exotic locales. But when they find themselves fogged in at the San Francisco airport and their flight to Fiji cancelled, they have no choice but to spend the holiday with their divorced parents and the rest of their dysfunctional relatives. From his wrestling brothers and cradle-robbing mother to her oversexed grandmother and perfect sister, the couple is forced to face their worst nightmare head-on. Kate and Brad's greatest fears are realized as their families share their most personal secrets. (official distributor synopsis)

An awesome Christmas chiller with a surprising Oscar-winning cast. Perfect for the holiday season.

Vince Vaughn has recently become a person that I definitely do not seek out, but sometimes a person simply needs to improve their mood with an undemanding comedy, which "Four Christmases" certainly is. Imagine the initial situation. Your family is not very happy. Your parents are divorced and live separately. It is similar in the family of your loved one. She also does not come from a family where the marriage ended happily. Currently, it is not such a big problem, but it arises when the families are supposed to visit each other. With which parents will you probably spend your Christmas? The couple in the film (Vaughn and Witherspoon) solves it simply. They lie a little to their parents and go on vacation alone. The parents do not mind and the couple is happy. At first glance, it's ideal. But what happens when the plane to their dream vacation cannot take off and the couple is also caught by a camera? Their families find out about them. They have no choice but to visit all four of their parents separately. Probably none of them imagined Christmas like this, and a visit from a child is not always welcome. However, "Four Christmases" is mainly a film about how people know each other and actually don't know each other. During the trip, the two lovers get to know each other more than in their whole previous life together. But it wouldn't be an American film if it didn't end well. Sometimes it is sentimental, as expected, but sometimes quite entertaining. I have to say that it is better than Vaughn's recent films, "Couples Retreat" and "The Dilemma".
