Plots(1)

Romantic comedy starring Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn as Kate and Brad, a San Francisco couple whose exotic Christmas holiday plans are scuppered by fog. The pair then face the very scenario they had tried to avoid: the obligatory family Christmas. Owing to the divorces of both their sets of parents, the couple are obliged to attend no less than four festive gatherings - a process that leads them to examine both the past and the future in more detail than either of them finds comfortable.

English Vince Vaughn has recently become a person that I definitely do not seek out, but sometimes a person simply needs to improve their mood with an undemanding comedy, which "Four Christmases" certainly is. Imagine the initial situation. Your family is not very happy. Your parents are divorced and live separately. It is similar in the family of your loved one. She also does not come from a family where the marriage ended happily. Currently, it is not such a big problem, but it arises when the families are supposed to visit each other. With which parents will you probably spend your Christmas? The couple in the film (Vaughn and Witherspoon) solves it simply. They lie a little to their parents and go on vacation alone. The parents do not mind and the couple is happy. At first glance, it's ideal. But what happens when the plane to their dream vacation cannot take off and the couple is also caught by a camera? Their families find out about them. They have no choice but to visit all four of their parents separately. Probably none of them imagined Christmas like this, and a visit from a child is not always welcome. However, "Four Christmases" is mainly a film about how people know each other and actually don't know each other. During the trip, the two lovers get to know each other more than in their whole previous life together. But it wouldn't be an American film if it didn't end well. Sometimes it is sentimental, as expected, but sometimes quite entertaining. I have to say that it is better than Vaughn's recent films, "Couples Retreat" and "The Dilemma".
