REVIEW:

What do you know: even a Christmas film can be a raunchy comedy and still funny. Four Christmases is about a happy, unmarried couple who go on a vacation every Christmas instead of spending time with their families. Unfortunately for them, heavy fog occurs on the day of their flight and they can't go anywhere out of San Fransisco, CA. But that's not all: their families see them on the news at the airport and want the couple on Christmas. Four parents, four locations, holy cow!!! This film was surprisingly funnier than I expected it to be. Vince Vaughn & Reese Witherspoon make a great team together. I can compare these two to John Travolta & Kristie Alley in the Look Who's Talking series. I'm glad I didn't see this in theaters since you wouldn't have had to see it in theaters because it's not a movie theater experience, like Avatar or 2012. But still, it's a funny Christmas movie that people will for sure enjoy into the new decades to come. It's a great rental to watch when there's nothing to do during the Christmas season and I recommend you taking the chance of seeing this. But be warned, this is PG-13 because of the language and sexual humor that families might not find appropriate. So, leave this as a rental for kids 13-14+. You won't regret it.
