Four Christmases represents the kind of passable holiday comedy that Hollywood serves up every year.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 7, 2024

Is this the worst Hollywood festive rom-com ever made?

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 3, 2023

Thanks to a satisfying performance by Witherspoon and Vaughn's dependable comic chops, Four Christmases is a modestly entertaining holiday film for the entire family.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 8, 2020

A tried and true formula that's like a repackaged Christmas gift; it's sort of comforting in its predictability but totally lacking in solid film form and originality.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 6, 2019

About as predictable as socks under the tree.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 14, 2012

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Apr 4, 2011

It's too sparse in the comedy to be really successful--every good joke is in the commercials--but it's got some heart and that counts for something.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Mar 22, 2011

Maybe if Four Christmases had extended itself beyond white trash targets and projectile vomiting, we could've been talking about a new Christmas classic right now.

Movie-goers heading to see the romantic comedy Four Christmases might want comedy, Christmas cheer and chemistry, but nobody gets everything on his wish list.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 11, 2009

How many Academy Award winners can a studio put in one cast and still turn out a bad movie?

| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 19, 2009

Although not a yuletide classic, Four Christmases is better than most of the holiday-oriented slop put out in recent years.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 30, 2009

For all of its snarky holiday/family bashing, Four Christmases wimps out in the third act and reaffirms all the traditional values it affects to mock.

| Mar 2, 2009

Maybe catch one of the other hundred holiday films to be offered over the next few weeks and wait for Four Christmases to come to your local Red Box.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 4, 2009

Grows tired long before the end credits start rolling at the 80-minute mark.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 27, 2008

There is no spark to the humor, there is no warmth to the drama. There is a tired plot that whips the essence of every Christmas movie ever made into a dreary slog

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 24, 2008

Feels like they wanted to make 5 different holiday movies and couldn't decide which plot line was best, so they rolled them all together, glossing over everything.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 17, 2008

Projectile baby vomiting is a recurring gag. I cried mistletoe well before the film was halfway through.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 12, 2008

Feels both too cluttered and too safe.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 9, 2008

This is marginally better than most, with a few offbeat comic ideas, a reliably droll performance from Vaughn, and, as the parents, four watchable old troupers in search of a fat paycheck.
