As I flipped through channels today I stopped on the movie “Four Christmases.” I was lucky enough to catch it as it was just beginning so I got to see the entire movie. Now again I tend to be harder on movies that have to do with love but I liked this one. It was a comedy as well as a romance movie. A couple (played by Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn) that normally takes a vacation during Christmas to avoid both of their families has no choice but to go and spend Christmas with them. Since both of them come from divorced homes they must visit four different houses. Since each parent seems to be a little crazy in their own way it makes things very complicated between the couple as the movie goes on. They find out things about each other that they did not know before and it changes their relationship. One of my favorite parts is when they are visiting his mother, who divorced his father and is now dating his best friend from childhood. ( Talk about awkward ) I also liked when they visited her mother and she had to fight some little kids for a pregnancy test. The movie was good but it was not great. It was very funny but I felt as if it was kind of predictable. I knew that they were going to end up have a big fight that may cause them to break up as soon as they fought about him not telling her he changed his name from Orlando.

*I give this movie a 6.5 out of 10*

I included the trailer because it has the parts from all four households.
