Today we are talking about one of my Christmas favorites starring Reece Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn from 2008. This film about a couple who is forced to visit their four sets of divorced parents on Christmas and the comedy hijinks that ensue. Set in San Francisco makes it extra. Four families, one day, no mercy.
Brad: “My childhood was like the Shawshank Redemption, except I didn't have some old, warm, black man to share my story with!”
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- Dealing with actor’s height difference
- Awkward and out of place packing montage
- We especially enjoy the first three Christmases and the comedy from them
- We both loved the line - “When he gets to hurting inside and can’t use his emotion words, he takes to streakin’”
- “You can’t spell families without lies”
- Any of the baby spit up scenes
- The Taboo game
