Movie Preview: Four Christmases

The little taste of Four Christmases in recent TV previews has only made me more curious to see a longer trailer, and now we've got it. As we know, Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn play Kate and Brad, who try to avoid their families around the holidays — but this year is different. Both of them have divorced parents, and they're forced to visit all four of their families for Christmas.

Sometimes I think Vince Vaughn is too snarky to be likable — especially in a movie like this — though Witherspoon is as cute and funny as ever. And the full-length trailer shows a few of the supporting actors, like Kristin Chenoweth, Jon Favreau, Robert Duvall, and Sissy Spacek, all of whom seem well-cast.

I'll admit, I'm excited for the holiday films to hit theaters, so I'll surely see Four Christmases when it comes around Nov. 26, if for no other reason than because it's fun to get into the spirit of the season.

A First Look at Four Christmases

This first snippet from Four Christmases, the forthcoming holiday comedy starring Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn, has been popping up during various TV shows lately. I missed it during America's Next Top Model last week but finally caught it during the VMAs on Sunday, and now I'm curious to know what you think.

The movie centers on Kate and Brad, who usually find a way to avoid spending Christmas with their families — until this year, when they must visit all four of their divorced parents in a single day. Reese is typically cute in these sorts of movies, and nothing in this little clip makes me think Four Christmases will be any different. I think this movie's success will depend on the interplay between the Kate and Brad characters and their various family members, though, and there's not much of that here — so I'll be on the lookout for a longer trailer before this movie hits theaters Nov. 26.

For now, though, to watch the clip, just

Reese and Vince to Have Four Christmases

Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn are in final talks to costar in a holiday comedy titled Four Christmases, says Hollywood Reporter. Truly a holiday flick for the divorce generation, Four Christmases follows "a couple who struggle to visit all four of their divorced parents' homes over the Christmas holiday."

I'm not a huge Vince Vaughn fan, though I think there's some automatic humor in the physical disparities between Witherspoon and Vaughn (he's so tall and she's so tiny!), and Vaughn's getting some practice with holiday comedies with this November's Fred Claus. I also think Reese showed some comedic chops as the perky, bubbly Elle in Legally Blonde and the neurotic high-schooler Tracey Flick in Election, so it will be interesting to see her paired with that oversized, sarcastic frat boy Vaughn.
