Film Review

Ok, so Mrs CB and I went to the Cinema on Sunday and due to a minor cock up on timings, the plan to see Twilight ended up going out the window and I suddenly found myself out-voted and we watched 4 Christmases.
Ok, so bottom line it’s a by-the-numbers Christmas romantic comedy, Vince Vaughn & Reese Witherspoon play the couple who for the last four years have told their parents that they are “Innoculating orphans in Dafour” or “Building shelters in Cambodia” whilst they jet off to Fiji or somewhere else hot for a week of sun and pampering. However this year goes astray as fog grounds all flights and they happen to be the couple that the local news crew decide to interview as part of the story. Cue all 4 parents (both split) inviting them to spend a part of Christmas day at each house. I don’t think I really need to describe where it all goes from here.
Not really a great film, it’s one of those that you know what you are going to get and this doesn’t go beyond that. One to avoid if you can, but at the end of the day I have seen a lot worse.
