REVIEW



FOUR CHRISTMASES



While browsing the vast selection of titles at one of my local video outlets, I came across a movie that definitely had promising potential. This flick featured Vince Vaughn (of which I am a huge fan). 
And it offered a bonus of a fun holiday theme.
How could I go wrong, right?

Read on. 
In the true spirit of couple-dom, Reese Witherspoon and Vaughn end up making the rounds to visit a quartet of relatives for Xmas (hence the title)-- once their exotic vacation plans fizzle out.
In the process, they find their resilience (and commitment) tested through kin-folks who fail to understand the meaning of boundaries and good taste.

Though the storyline was cute and relate-able, it really didn't deliver. 
The "funny" felt forced, and so it ultimately fell short for me.  

In all fairness, there were a few funny scenes and interesting moments, but overall, I wasn't impressed. So, unfortunately I'm gonna have to rate this movie 2.5 stars out of 5.


This wraps up this edition of Pen and Prosper's 3R's series.
Thanks for reading, folks.

    1. Clee,

      There was nothing wrong with her role or portrayal; it was more in the script and development of the movie.
      Thanks for adding to the mix here.

    2. One of my favorite movies of Reese's is Man in the Moon. It is an oldie but goodie.
