Seth
Gordon
(THE
KING
OF
KONG:
A
FISTFUL
OF
QUARTERS)
makes
his
feature
film
directorial
debut
with
FOUR
CHRISTMASES.
Kate
(Reese
Witherspoon)
and
Brad
(Vince
Vaughn)
are
a
happily
unmarried
couple
who
avoid
spending
Christmas
with
their
families
at
all
costs
and
instead
travel
to
exotic
locales.
But
when
they
find
themselves
fogged
in
at
the
San
Francisco
airport
and
their
flight
to
Fiji
cancelled,
they
have
no
choice
but
to
spend
the
holiday
with
their
divorced
parents
and
the
rest
of
their
dysfunctional
relatives.
From
his
wrestling
brothers
and
cradle-robbing
mother
to
her
oversexed
grandmother
and
perfect
sister,
the
couple
is
forced
to
face
their
worst
nightmare
head-on.
Kate
and
Brad's
greatest
fears
are
realized
as
their
families
share
their
most
personal
secrets.
This
film
addresses
broader
themes
of
how
people
really
know
each
other
and
the
importance
of
connecting
with
family,
no
matter
how
crazy
they
might
be.
Vaughn
and
Witherspoon
have
nice
chemistry
as a
couple
that
thought
they
had
everything
they
wanted,
improvising
and
playing
off
of
each
other
well.
Robert
Duvall
and
Sissy
Spacek
appear
as
Brad's
parents,
while
Jon
Voight
and
Mary
Steenburgen
play
Kate's
parents.
Jon
Favreau
and
Tim
McGraw
are
a
hoot
as
Brad's
tormenting
brothers,
and
Kristen
Chenoweth
fits
the
bill
as
Kate's
sister.
Parents
should
be
aware
that
the
film
includes
adult
language
and
themes,
and
some
comments
about
Santa
that
may
upset
young
children.
