"Four Christmases" starring Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn, is about a deceitful, unmarried couple that lies to their family at Christmas, claiming they are doing charity work in foreign countries, when they are actually on vacations abroad.
This lie catches up with them thanks to a TV news anchorwoman that spontaneously decides to interview them, exposing their untruths to watching viewers (their families included). As a result, they are forced to visit their four parents separate homes for the holidays, which becomes tedious.
I'm not used to Christmas films being vulgar, crude and sacrilegious, but this one certainly was in many ways. It also pushed the gross-out factor as far as it would go. For example, there was a scene featuring a little girl putting a home pregnancy test in her mouth, unaware her aunt had just peed on it. Not exactly a classic, now is it.
