Four Christmases Movie Review

**** out of 5

I went and saw Four Christmases on Friday night. It stars Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon and it was kind of odd to me that they were cast together because I wouldn't normally expect to see them in the same movie. Vince Vaughn, however, is one of my favorite actors and most everything he does I think is hilarious. Wedding Crashers and Old School are two of my favorites.

Back to the story, These two are in a relationship and have made it clear to one another that they don't want to get married or have kids. They'd rather just be together to have fun and not be bound by anything. They get drug into going to all of their parents (who are both divorced) christmases, hence the name. Each one brings some kind of problem or skeletons from the past in both of their lives. Vinces brothers beat him up which is absolutely hilarious since he isn't a small guy. Reese's character used to be fat and other little secrets are revealed that neither knew about eachother.

The movie goes on and each house brings up more issues between the couple and by the end they get into an argument about wanting to have kids or get married but eventually they see eye to eye about it and everything works out.

The movie does have an underlying sappy story to it but there are a lot of laughs and funny lines. I'd recommend anybody who likes comedy to see this movie. Especially if you love Vince Vaughn.

Give it 4 out of 5 stars
