With the looming financial crisis and Christmas peeking at us around the corner, 4 Christmases doesn't come at a better time to bring some xmas cheer. Story of a couple whose holiday plans were thwarted by bad weather and unable to fly out of the country to avoid visiting their families during the holiday season. I am sure that many of us relate to this but it usually happens during CNY (people wanna avoid giving ang pows!) What happens to the couple in the next few hours when visiting their family is that they have to face their fears, their past, their dysfunctional families and embark on a path of self discovery and love. Very relatable and funny, it makes me think that my very own family ain't that bad after all. Nice messages and some very funny lines, this movie is enjoyable, extreme to some extend but still funny.

What I loved most: Some great lines like "You cannot spell families with LIES."

What I really hated: No proper ending

First and foremost, I am no fan of Vince Vaughn. I did not realize he was that tall when watching Mr & Mrs Smith, maybe all the focus went to Brad. I went into the threatre for Reese. The show turn out to be simply hilarious! It may not be a 'Must See' show of the year but the overall arrangement was great, comedy timing on the spot and the rest you just go with the flow. Your parents, my parents, 4 differnt families in one day! To be honest, Vaughn is quite a comedian and his acting outshine Witherspoon. This is a very festive movie, simple message, "Don't take your family for granted! Spend all the time you can with them as once you missed it, you are not getting it back!". For what is worth, you also get too watch those A-Grade "extra" like Sissy Spacek and Jon Voight. Did I mention the soundtrack, should be worth to listen.

What I loved most: Showing the true joy of Christmas

What I really hated: Too common?

Four Christmases isn't that kind of movie that will be praised by critics. But in audience's heart, Four Christmases is heart-warming and hilarious. Supported by huge star powers, it's released in the right time, about 30 days before the real Christmas Day, thus really brings up the true spirit of Christmas. You'll be laughing and touched in this movie. It's a great family film, although some jokes are too rude for children. Watch out!
