Brad and Kate have made something of an art form out of avoiding their families during the holidays, but this year their foolproof plan is about go bust -- big time. Stuck at the city airport after all departing flights are canceled, the couple is embarrassed to see their ruse exposed to the world by an overzealous television reporter. Now, Brad and Kate are left with precious little choice other than to swallow their pride and suffer the rounds.

    “Four Christmases” features a couple who are happier avoiding their families but are forced to spend Christmas visiting all four of their parents. The setup creates plenty of awkward situations and family drama, played mostly for comedy. There are some genuine laughs, and parts of the family dynamics feel uncomfortably true. The humor works in spots, though the story leans heavily on exaggerated situations. Not bad, but not memorable either, and probably not one I would watch again or recommend as a must-see Christmas movie.

    A really deep cast delivers a fairly fun Christmas flick. Love Vaughn's delivery, as usual. Some funny dysfunction.

    Modern Christmas comedy. Funnier than Hallmark movies, but that's about it

    I think that this movie gets bad ratings because people think it's a Christmas movie, or a love story. It's really more of a slapstick comedy. I can't believe I just noticed this, but when they get in the first cab, they are playing "hot hot hot" by Buster Poindexter, who is the Ghost of Christmas Past in Scrooged. Then when they go to her mom's house, one of the Aunts is Carol Kane, who played the Ghost of Christmas Present in Scrooged. It seems too convenient to be an accident.

    Watched with my mother while sailing on Holland America's Zuiderdam over Christmas 2024. Despite an egregious stab at megachurches that went on far too long, this was a fun little romp. I quite enjoyed it.
