'Four Christmases' web reviews

In Seth Gordon's latest comedy "Four Christmases," Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon team up as a couple trying to avoid family gatherings on Christmas. But when all their flights get cancelled and their parents see them on television, the two feel obliged to pay them all a visit. Here's how online critics respond to it:

• Brad Brevet at RopeOfSilicon: "This flick won't become a holiday classic, but I am sure it will entertain those that go see it."

• Cinema Blend's Josh Tyler: "It’s not boring enough to be irritating and not funny enough to be entertaining."

• Brian Orndorf at Collider: "If Vince Vaughn wants to ruin Christmas, he's going about it the right way."

Trailer for 'Four Christmases' debuts on Web

Just like every year in the U.S., the first Christmas flicks start hitting theaters in November already (don't ask me why). One of them this year is Seth Gordon's "Four Christmases," in which Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon play a couple struggling to visit all four of their divorced parents on Christmas Day.

Although this trailer did not really win me over, I have to admit Vaughn and Witherspoon look like a solid enough team to handle this kind of cheap screwball comedy. Robert Duvall, Jon Favreau, Mary Steenburgen, Dwight Yoakam and Sissy Spacek co-star. "Four Christmases" opens Nov. 26, 2008. Enjoy the preview just above.
