Not So Merry

This movie was not as great as I thought it would be. It had all of the right ingredients--talented actors, relatable subject matter, holiday humor--but it just fell short. It was like waiting for your mom to finish cooking your favorite dish, but her best friend from college called and she forgot to check on it so it came out burnt. While there were moments that were very funny, for the most part there was just too much farce and no chemistry between the actors.

The "conflict" between Vaugh and Witherspoon seemed force. It was like the writers said, "OMG, we need to have something wrong with them! We'll just say they don't know each other well even though they've been together for 3 years and do everything together that's what we'll say!" It just made no sense. Also, in one day Wither...

Happy Holidays

Out of all the newer holiday films I think this one is the best. It is a fun film that will keep you laughing untill the end. The cast works well together and the film has a pretty good message behind it. I wish all the other new holiday directors would take after Seth Gordon.

Predictable but there are some good laughs.

The lastest manufactured romantic comedy for the holiday starring Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn as a couple whose trip to Fiji is canceled are forced and struggle to visit all four of their divorced parents on Christmas Day.

Vaughn's semi-professional ultimate fighting brothers are played by country singer-turned movie star Tim McGraw and best friend Jon Favreau, who provides the films few laughs. more awkward moments of family embarrassment follow through visitng houses 2, 3, & 4. Vince Vaughn is funny but not reallly acting. He just being Vince Vaughn. I liked the character . Ithink Vince Vaghn fans will like this movie. Witherspoon, however looks like she can't keep up with his improve and comic timing. I just though she wasn't the right choice for this movie. i sometimes durin...

Borrific

Probably the worst movie I've seen this year. I felt very very sleepy the first minute in. Vince Vaughn's comedic talent just went on a downward spiral because none of his jokes worked. I guess it would've been funnier if there was a drum roll every joke delivered. Reese on the other hand was just plain boring with the capital B. I missed the old formula for Christmas movies cause this one’s definitely not it...
