Four Christmases

I love Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon is absolutely adorable. So naturally, I knew I would completely enjoy Four Christmases. And I did…I liked the movie a lot. It is a very modern take on a holiday film…visiting two sets of divorced parents. Witherspoon and Vaughn were adorable together. I love the movie poster and how he is so much taller than her. It reminds me of Chad and me.

I feel like we haven’t seen Reese in a romantic comedy in a long time and this film brings her back to the glory of Sweet Home Alabama. This is exactly the genre she belongs in. She was funny, charming and had great chemistry with Vaughn. Putting Vince Vaughn in any comedy is pure genius. He is terrific, I find him slacker sexy. I just wanna hang out with him and watch football and eat a bunch of snacks.

At first I thought having to deal with, well, four Christmases would be a lot to handle in one movie, but each family scene had its own dynamic and none of the visits were too long. It helped to have a few siblings tie some of the scenes together. In the end the movie was exactly what I was looking for: funny, a bit predictable, cute and a lesson learned by the end.

This is definitely a great movie to watch during the holidays…it makes you feel all cheery.
