Watch Four Christmases For Free

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

An amiable if not outright funny Christmas-themed comedy with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn as an unmarried long-term couple so set in their ways that they role-play nights out in bars to add spice to their relationship. This scene is probably the closest to laugh-out-loud funny in the whole movie as we move on to discover that their four mutually estranged parents are apparently so awful that they'll contrive imaginary charitable holidays to avoid meeting up with them. En route to an exotic holiday to Fiji, their ruse is busted when the flight is cancelled, they're caught off-guard in a TV news piece and inadvertently beamed into the homes of their families who all wonder why they never get to see them over the holidays. Shamed into the Christmas spirit, they make the rounds of their four crazy parents, well, three of them anyway before broody ideas hit Witherspoon's as she finds herself interacting with a succession of babies and infants. Vaughn of course doesn't want to give up their carefree child-free lifestyles but there are no prizes for guessing what makes up the happy ending.Obviously taking "Meet The Parents" as a major reference point, the film mostly manages to avoid crassness (apart from an episode where Witherspoon tries to get back a stolen pregnancy test from her young niece). There are amusing scenes where the hapless couple get roped into playing Mary and Joseph at a school nativity play and participate in a truth-telling board game.Vaughn and Witherspoon play well together and there's lots of celebrity support with Robert Duval impersonating De Niro's latter-day elderly curmudgeon schtick, Mary Steenbergen as a born-again yummy mummy although Sissy Spacek seems miscast as Vaughn's mother who's taken in her son's best pal as her live-in lover.The ending, where the duo apparently find the true meaning and happiness missing in their relationship by eventually having a kid of their own seems to cock an uncharitable snook at other couples who either can't or don't want to have children in their relationships but I'll chalk that one down to holiday sentimentality."Four Christmases" won't go down as an enduring Christmas classic, but with lots of Christmas decorations around and a variable quality soundtrack (Bing Crosby crooning "White Christmas" to a disco beat at the start of the film is a definite no-no) I found it a pleasant enough diversion this particular December as the big day approaches this year.

so a film comes along for Xmas as this is kind of reality in a way so this film is 1hr 28mins of fun filled angst if you been through it with this all star cast means that the star couple question each others ideas of commitment as they are test to the limit of their own moral ground they try and get away brad and Kate (resse Witherspoon and Vince Vaughan ) they are brilliant in this relationship issues film but anyway the like going away each Xmas to keep away from their family as their respective parents are with other people so with holidays booked and nature decides that Kate and brad are dealt a severe blow to their ideas and get found out in certain media so they have to meet brad father Robert duvall character Howard who likes to drink and play hard along with his son Orlando and Denver who beat the crap out him and play decides a certain present would be good so this cause havoc so meet their other families in this film like when they play Jesus and brad takes the lead in the nativity play this buts questions into Kate head about children as she had a rough childhood plus brad dis like of spewing from children plus a quiz all the couples seem compatible to each other apart from 2 guess who this film is fun and gross but you will be laughing i saw this in the cinemas i give this 7/10 one of the better ROM com Xmas movies his mother her mother her mother his father all in one day this is my 119 review

I love this movie. I first saw it over Christmas time, in Hawaii, whilst on vacation. I only saw half of it, and finally finished it a few weeks later, when I was at home. I thought it was going to be about four years worth of Christmases, not four different family get-togethers in one Christmas season.In this movie, Kate and Brad, longtime couple, always tell their families that they're doing something really important, like feeding the hungry in Africa or helping children in poor countries. Instead of actually doing those things, they go on a vacation. Whilst in the airport, waiting to catch their flight, the fog in San Francisco is too bad to fly in. The news asks them questions about how they're feeling, which airs, and their families find out that they've been lying for years. They get roped into going to see their families. We see Kate's Mother, Kate's Father, who are divorced. We also see Brad's Father, and his brothers, who are really big red- necks, and Brad's Mother, who are also divorced. Don't worry, everything works out in the end.Overall, I give this movie an 8 out of 10.

Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon) are very selfish people. They both hate marriage and kids. They can't stand their family or quite frankly any family. They lie to everybody about their Christmas plans and try to vacation in Fiji. Only they are stranded when weather shuts down all the flights. Their families find out their canceled plans when they are surprised on a live TV report. The couple is then forced to visit 4 sets of family Christmases.This is not a likable couple, and Vince Vaughn is stuck playing the same annoying character as he also does. He needs to try to stretch his acting skills because this fast talking jerk character is getting old. It's especially bad when the movie sucks as bad as this. For a Christmas movie, it is a joyless experience. At least, Reese Witherspoon tries to tap into her charm. In the end, none of it works. None of it is funny.
