Four Holidays (Four Christmases):
Four Christmases (or Four Holidays in Australia and New Zealand) is a Christmas-themed romantic comedy film about a couple who go see all Four of their divorced parents in one day.
So its that time of year and there is always a christmas themed film showing at the cinemas. What I have learned from annual christmas films is that they’re either going to be fun and comendable or really really bad. When it came to four christmases i think it sat smack dam in the middle. It wasnt the best christmas film but it did have its moments. I know that most people have labelled the film as not up to scratch and i think thats fair enough and i can see why, but i feel that Four Christmases was a film that can be enjoyed by a whole range of different people and thats why it was a film that most people have been to see.
Some of the performaces by the actors were good. Reese Witherspoon has always been a favourite actress of mine, and although I dont think this movie showed her ultimate strengths, there were moments that i enjoyed. Vince Vaungh is also an actor that i enjoy to watch and laugh at, but i have to mention that he hasnt made the best desicions about roles in the last couple of years, but beside this I did laugh at him in the film, especially his scenes with his on screen mom Sissy Spacek.
Robert Duvall, Mary Steenburgen, Jon Voight and Sissy Spacek co star as the parents of both Kate and Brad, and they all had quite enjoyable and solid performances. I especially liked Robert Duvall and Sissy Spacek.
Overall I think this film is a cute holiday film, that people should see for a bit of light entertainment, it is not great but it is not terrible, just go see it for a bit of fun and to get into the christmas spirit.
