Four Christmases (2008) 8/10

Starring : Vince Vaughn, Reese Witherspoon, Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, Jon Voight, Jon Favreau, Mary Steenburgen
Director : Seth Gordon
Running Time : 87 mins

When their Christmas holiday to Fiji is called off due to bad weather, Brad (Vaughn) and Kate (Witherspoon) are stranded in the States, and when a camera crew films them they realise that the lie they told to their families won’t hold water and are forced to visit each of their divorced parents for the holiday season.

I wasn’t expecting much from this Christmas movie that didn’t seem to do that well in the UK, despite some heavy promotions. Despite my first impressions, the story was fun and the slapstick came thick and fast, and I love the way the main two characters hated the idea of marriage because of their parents divorces. Well worth watching if you want a bit of festive fun!
