Four Christmases
When upscale, happily unmarried San Francisco couple Kate and Brad find themselves socked in by fog on Christmas morning, their exotic vacation plans morph into the family-centric holiday they had, until now, gleefully avoided. Out of obligation–and unable to escape–they trudge to not one, not two, but four relative-choked festivities, increasingly mortified to find childhood fears raised, adolescent wounds reopened and their very future together uncertain. As Brad counts the hours to when he can get away from their parents, step-parents, siblings and an assortment of nieces and nephews, Kate is starting to hear the ticking of a different kind of clock. And by the end of the day, she is beginning to wonder if their crazy families’ choices are not so crazy after all.

Holiday movies are so crappy nowadays and here’s another cookie
cutter dis functional family comedy, which looks like MAYBE doesn’t have a happy mushy ending? That would be a nice change. The shameful part is I actually laughed a little bit. =/
Maybe a year from now when it’s on cable and I’m bored with nothing to watch I’ll give it a shot.
