  • Four Holidays Talent: Reese Witherspoon, Vince Vaughan, Jon
    Four Holidays Talent: Reese Witherspoon, Vince Vaughan, Jon Favreau, Robert Duvall, Mary Steenburgen, Sissy Spacek, Jon Voight. Date of review: Thursday 4th December, 2008 Director: Seth Gordon Duration: 82 minutes Classification: M We rate it: 2 stars. There are a number of semi-intriguing things about this film, and possibly a greater number of not-so-intriguing elements that manage to tip the scales to take it from being potentially interesting to really rather nondescript and forgettable. The first faintly intriguing thing about Four Holidays is its title, which has been changed for we Australians. The film’s US title is Four Christmases, and Santa only knows why the title was changed for its Antipodean audience. Perhaps we’re regarded as a more secular nation than the US of A? Who knows. What we want to know here is whether or not it’s a decent film, and the answer, in my opinion, is “Well, sort of.” Four Holidays starts quite well, with Vince Vaughan and Reese Witherspoon (both interesting and capable actors) seemingly meeting each other for the first time in a San Francisco bar and having a passionate argument that turns into a passionate tryst in the bar’s toilet. It becomes clear that this humourous episode has been staged by the couple (who are in fact established, long-term partners) in order to keep some spice in their relationship. Reese and Vince (here playing semi-yuppies Kate and Brad, respectively) are an idiosyncratic couple, successful, financially independent and not at all interested in doing the usual round of family-home-to-family-home Christmas runabout during the holidays.
