Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon - “Four Christmases”
As bad as the recent crop of holiday movies have been (sadly, Fred Claus doesn’t look so hot either after seeing the trailer) I’m still a guy who likes Christmas movies… even is they stink. What can I tell you? I just love Christmas.
Anyway, yet another Vince Vaughn Christmas film seems to be in the works and this time he’ll have Reese Witherspoon with him if everything works out. The film is titled “Four Christmases” and apparently follows a couple at Christmas time who have to try to find a way to visiting all four of their divorced parents. I can relate to this predicament on some level because having been married once, just trying to fit in 2 sets of parents and keep them happy was hard enough.
The film also has an interesting history. Yahoo News gives us this:
“Christmases” was originally set up at Sony Pictures, which eyed it for holiday release in 2004, but the project was dropped because it conflicted with another holiday comedy at the studio, “Christmas With the Kranks.” New Line picked it up in the fall with Adam Shankman attached to direct. Shankman instead segued to the studio’s “Hairspray.”
Count me a “curious” until I actually see something.

So we went from Tim Allen making a bunch of Christmas movies to Vince Vaughn making a bunch of Christmas movies. Is Vince on a downslope?

yeah, christmas movies are enough of a cliche in themselves without the likes of Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon…however, i think this particular movie has a pleasant spin on the obligatory holiday flicks. just from the premise i think there will be a lot of funny moments and a lot of emotionally strained moments which will put our actors to the test…and although i don’t care for Reese Witherspoon, i say that Vince Vaughn was the saving grace of “Wedding Crashers” and did a GREAT job in old school PLUS his onscreen relationship/chemistry with The Rock made Be Cool go from being awful to worth checking out at the very least
