Four Christmases (2008)
Seth Gordon directs his first studio film with this Christmas based romantic comedy which stars Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon. A couple that have spent three years avoiding their families at Christmas have no way to escape that now and have to live through their nightmare senario.
There are two major problems with this film. Firstly this film is just not funny which is rather a big issue for a supposed comedy, there might be a couple of chuckles in the film but where all the jokes at? When it comes to the plot the problem is that the message behind the film is that having different desires to the social norms, such as not wanting to get married and have kids, is wrong and you must learn the error of your ways. Even if you accept the concept of the film the execution is just a case of going through the motions in a highly contrived and predictable manner.
2/5
