Four Christmas’s is a 2008 comedy starring Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon. This is one of those comedy’s where almost all the jokes and punch lines are right on target. The movie is about a couple, who go on a vacation rather than visits their families every Christmas. The problem this time is that they are stopped at the airport by a news reporter and their families see them on the news trying to leave for vacation.

Once they’ve been outed, the families call, and they have to go visit them instead of their dream trip to Fiji. In a single day, they visit all four of their families. Along the way, the learn more about family, deal with past issues, and strengthen their own relationship as a couple.

While the film is set in the Christmas period, you can watch it any time of year. It’s a really funny film, that everyone will enjoy.

Couples Retreat is loaded with recognizable celebs, but at the same time, it wasn’t equally loaded with genuine laughs. The film is about a couple, unable to conceive, talking their friends into going on a vacation, which turns out to be a couples therapy island. They can see the island they want to be on – the singles island, but are forbidden to go there.

The movie does have its moment, but that’s mostly due to Vince Vaughn’s talent with words. It’s a good rental – wouldn’t shell out the money to own it though.

It does have it’s moments, plenty of women in bikini’s, and some funny lines, but….
