Light hearted comedy

Vaughn & Witherspoon create the most perfect neurotic happily childless couple, when their Christmas plans fall through they're forced to spend Christmas with their parents who are all divorced (hence Four Christmases). There in the story really ends, there an emotional tug as Witherspoon decides she wants children - that's it. There's just not enough in the story for you to really care, I'm not really sure why it's set at Christmas as there's no real Christmas message. The film is structured by the humour which is funny and the pacing is good. Middle of the road film based on humour not story, boy friendly.

AVERAGE FOR ME BRILLIANT FOR HUSBAND AND DAUGHTER

Although funny in parts for me, I watched it with my husband and daughter, who seem to share the same daft sense of humour, and they loved it. Family fun.

Strange and unsatisfying movie

I 'watched' this movie without any sound on a neighbour's tv on a plane over Christmas. It was an interesting experiment in how much I could understand of the movie just by watching, without any sound (ok, that's not normal, but it is interesting!).
For a while I was entirely puzzled and unable to work out the relationships between the various characters, ending up with thinking Jon Voight was a man with multiple wives and squads of children, who hadn't told Reese Witherspoon about all his other families and she was meeting them for the first time.
There were some amusing episodes, like the one with the pregnancy test kit and the bouncy castle, but in the main it looked like a very unpleasant movie.
At one point Reese and Jon appear in a Nativity play, him as a cross between Joseph and the Joseph of the multi-coloured Dream Coat and her as Mary. She appeared to be very distressed by the whole procedings, whilst he was loving it.
I won't be watching this movie with the sound at any time in the future and wouldn't recommend it, based on what I saw and what I later found out to be the actual story ...

Funny? I think not!

If this is meant to be a comedy, it fails abysmally. Dull and boring. Expected much more from this. Only wish we'd rented it and not bought it. It's one for the charity shop!
