I was going to call it Bore Christmases because it’s boring but I thought some people might think that I was talking about the animal, the boar. So I decided to call it 3 and a half. Sorry Vince Vaughn.

Four Christmases is a new release and it made its way onto the list, frankly because we ran out of movies. It was out of necessity that I saw this film and here is the review.

At first I was psyched. Dude I finally get to watch Vince VAUGHN AGAIN! He’s so witty and clever and his one liners are great. So I was pretty stoked. I told everyone for months that I was going to go see Fred Claus Four Christmases.

The film starts very strong. I kind of chuckled my way through the first ten minutes, but not a real solid laugh. And thats how the entire film continues to stay. I was pretty upset. Vince Vaughn was relied upon heavily in this film, and it just turned out like he was trying too hard to save a sinking ship. I know the writers didn’t have shit, and if Vince wasn’t in this movie it would not be watchable. Here’s the summary:

Vince and Reese Witherspoon never go home for Christmas and they always lie to their families. In fact Vince says, “You can’t spell families without lies.” I guess that was supposed to be funny or something. So Vince and Legally Blonde end up having to go spend Christmas with their both divorced parents, which is far-fetched by the way, and HILARITY ENSUES!!!!!!!

Not Really.

The best scene in the whole film is when they have to spend Christmas at Reeses’ mothers house and they both have to dress up as Joseph and Mary at her church. Vaughn is pretty funny as he overacts to play Joseph.

Besides that and Jon Favreau, that was the only good parts about this film.

So ho ho, to wrap it up, Four Pissmases ? Not great, but it made the list. Wait for the dvd or don’t waste an hour and a half of your life like I did.
