Four Christmases

Four Christmases (2008) is Seth Gordon's holiday comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Every December, Brad and Kate flee to a tropical beach to dodge their relatives. This year the plan falls apart.

Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon play a couple who keep lying to their parents about doing charity work overseas. Fog grounds their flight, a news camera catches them stranded at the airport, and the cover is blown. Now they have to hit four houses in one day: his dad, her mom, his mom, her dad. All four parents divorced long ago, and each stop digs up something the pair would rather not learn about each other. Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, Mary Steenburgen and Jon Voight fill out the gallery of difficult family.

Gordon runs the whole thing as an 88-minute farce, complete with a backyard brawl, a baptism gone wrong and a baby vomiting on cue. Under the slapstick sits an awkward question: do Brad and Kate actually want a family, or are they just running from one? Stream Four Christmases (2008) online on iFILM.
