Plot | No one enjoys the holidays more than Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon). Every December 25th, this happily unmarried, upscale San Francisco couple embark on a holiday tradition they have shared every year since they met—ditching their crazy families for a relaxing, fun-filled vacation in some sunny exotic locale. There, sipping margaritas by the pool, they toast the season, knowing they have once again avoided the chaos and emotional fallout of their four respective households: divorced parents, squabbling siblings, out-of-control kids and all the simmering resentments and awkward moments that are the hallmarks of every family Christmas. But not this year. Shorts and sunglasses packed, Brad and Kate are trapped at the San Francisco airport by a fogbank that cancels every outbound flight. Worse yet, they are caught on camera by a local news crew, revealing their whereabouts to the whole city…and to their families. With no escape and no excuses, they are now expected home by Brad's father (Robert Duvall). And Kate's mother (Mary Steenburgen). And Brad's mother (Sissy Spacek). And Kate's father (Jon Voight). Four Christmases in one day. As they brace themselves for a marathon of homecomings, Brad and Kate expect the worst—and that's exactly what they get. But as Brad counts down the minutes to their freedom, Kate surprisingly finds herself tuned to the ticking of a different clock. At the end of the day, each will gain a new perspective on where they came from…and where they're going. Getting to know themselves and each other as they really are could finally give them a chance at the kind of love they've only been playing at. | | Cast | * Reese Witherspoon as Kate * Vince Vaughn as Brad (Orlando) * Jon Favreau as Denver (Brad's brother) * Robert Duvall as Howard (Brad's father) * Jon Voight as Kate's Dad * Mary Steenburgen as Marilyn (Kate's mother) * Sissy Spacek as Brad's mother * Kristin Chenoweth as Courtney (Kate's sister) * Tim McGraw as Dallas (Brad's brother) * Cedric Yarbrough as Stan * Dwight Yoakam as Pastor Phil * Creagen Dow as Sheep * Skyler Gisondo as Connor McVie * Noah Munck as Michael One of the film's executive producers, Peter Billingsley, who had a starring role as Ralphie in the 1983 film A Christmas Story, has an uncredited role as a character involved in "the most important plot point in the movie." | Production | Gordon was brought in as director at the insistence of Vaughn, who had seen Gordon's documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, a film, Gordon points out, which, like Four Christmases, has a "traditional three-act structure." The film began production in December 2007, during the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, which meant that no changes could be made to the script. During production New Line Cinema became a "unit of Warner Bros.", which put the film's completion at risk. | |
