Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

2karl- so a film comes along for Xmas as this is kind of reality in a way so this film is 1hr 28mins of fun filled angst if you been through it with this all star cast means that the star couple question each others ideas of commitment as they are test to the limit of their own moral ground they try and get away brad and Kate (resse Witherspoon and Vince Vaughan ) they are brilliant in this relationship issues film but anyway the like going away each Xmas to keep away from their family as their respective parents are with other people so with holidays booked and nature decides that Kate and brad are dealt a severe blow to their ideas and get found out in certain media so they have to meet brad father Robert duvall character Howard who likes to drink and play hard along with his son Orlando and Denver who beat the crap out him and play decides a certain present would be good so this cause havoc so meet their other families in this film like when they play Jesus and brad takes the lead in the nativity play this buts questions into Kate head about children as she had a rough childhood plus brad dis like of spewing from children plus a quiz all the couples seem compatible to each other apart from 2 guess who this film is fun and gross but you will be laughing i saw this in the cinemas i give this 7/10 one of the better ROM com Xmas movies his mother her mother her mother his father all in one day this is my 119 review

lisafordeay This happened to be on Film 4 last night. And since there was nothing to look at on TV I decided to give this movie a go since I have never seen it before. The film is about an unmarried couple named Brad and Kate(played by Just Like Heaven's Reese Witherspoon and Dodgeball's Vince Vaughan)and they met at a night's out during the Christmas period. Of course they dream to go to Fiji together but since there was a fog,all the destinations were cancelled including Fiji so the couple decide to celebrate Xmas with their extended families by trying to go to both set of parents(as both of their parents are divorced) So will they go to Fiji and can they stick both set of their parents during the Xmas season?Now I just watched this like I said last night because I am a fan of both Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughan I liked Vince in Dodgeball I thought that was hilarious and Reese in Walk The Line,but they seemed very aloof on screen,I can't put my finger on it but they were very distant and cold with each other it just didn't work at all. Granted if the actors were getting along it would have been better but that was the major problem with this movie. The backgrounds were nice in fairness but the movie as a whole was just a so so movie.Average

myspecialparadise Maybe you have to be a man to like this film. I hated most of it, to the point that the best part of the film was the ending.Packed full of wonderful stars that obviously had nothing better to do, or were desperate for the money ... as I can see no other reason to be in this disaster.It was nice to see Sissy Spacek, but the part was totally beneath her as an actress of great acclaim and talent. But that can be said for many of those that appeared in this prelude to a panic attack. I rate this film one star above Pee Wee's Christmas DVD ... which remains my all-time favorite personality to avoid at any cost! This DVD goes in the trash.Well, there you have it ... my opinion about this piece of crapola that literally caused me to be nauseous, as well as to have a panic attack! If I was related to these disgusting characters ... I'd send my Christmas List to the AlQaida network in Iraq!

SnoopyStyle Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon) are very selfish people. They both hate marriage and kids. They can't stand their family or quite frankly any family. They lie to everybody about their Christmas plans and try to vacation in Fiji. Only they are stranded when weather shuts down all the flights. Their families find out their canceled plans when they are surprised on a live TV report. The couple is then forced to visit 4 sets of family Christmases.This is not a likable couple, and Vince Vaughn is stuck playing the same annoying character as he also does. He needs to try to stretch his acting skills because this fast talking jerk character is getting old. It's especially bad when the movie sucks as bad as this. For a Christmas movie, it is a joyless experience. At least, Reese Witherspoon tries to tap into her charm. In the end, none of it works. None of it is funny.
