This movie produces non stop laughter in our house! Vince Vaughn does his 'thing' better than ever, while Reese is great playing his girlfriend. The rest of the cast is top notch and a perfect mixture of family stereotypes! You owe it to yourself, if you have a sense of humor about holidays and family get togethers, to see this movie!

Sophomoric humor, disjointed plot, obnoxious delivery, lack of direction, and poor pacing married to a feeble attempt to intertwine a serious philosophical issue throughout its unbelievably contrived and stilted storyline (the issue was whether or not to bring offspring into the world, but by the end you have come to have so much disdain for the main characters that you are practically screaming, "Please, don't breed!" by the time they do). Overall, just a superbly painful movie to sit through.

Further, it was most disheartening to see a stellar collection of supporting actors (Duval, Spacek, Voight) wasted in a horrendous vehicle such as this one. My recommendation is that if you can watch it for free . . . you will still have paid too much. This is a Christmas movie quickly destined for the post-Christmas gift exchange department.

On a brighter note, my wife hated it more than I did.

This was pretty terrible. The only time I actually laughed was at Vince Vaughn's reaction to the baby puke, the rest was just silly and often painful. Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon play a happily unmarried couple who are forced to spend Christmas with the families of their divorced parents... making that yes, 4 Christmas visits in one day, after their annual vacation getaway falls through and they get caught out on the news at the fogged in San Francisco airport.

These two have zero chemistry together and the entire movie follows a series of generic gags and misunderstandings. E.g., Reese in a bouncy castle with a bunch of bratty kids trying to get her pregnancy test back that she just randomly took (for kicks) in her sisters bathroom. I caught this on TV, I'm glad I didn't spend any money to watch it.

Lots of familiar faces from the parents and extended family helped me get thorough this while at the same time wonder why they were in the movie? All in, nothing special, a Christmas time waster.
