pretty good flick
My family loved it, I didnt have that same reaction, though. I liked it alot, provided good laughs, 1,000 times better than Yes Man.

BAD
A funny movie... but not when you take your santa believeing 8 year old.a lot of references flew overhead, but it was still HORRIBLE. I thought it would be a cute FAMILY movie... don't take ANYONE under 15. and make sure this 15 year old is mature. So not ok for 13 year olds.

Funny, but SO not for kids!
Usually I check this website before taking my kids to the movies. On the spur of the moment I decided the whole family would go see Four Christmases and I didn't check the reviews ahead of time. Man was I sorry! The movie itself is funny, but is pretty much full of rude sexual humor. I was extremely embarrased that I had taken my kids, of course, thinking it was going to be kid-friendly. I am not uptight, but my kids (ages 12 & 8) are still innocent when it come to knowing about sex (thank God) and the scenes where there WASN'T a sexual reference or joke were few and far between. My husband and I were sorry we took them within the first 5 minutes of the movie. That's about how long it took for them to start throwing around the bad language and then going to a scene of Vince and Reese getting ready to have sex in a club bathroom.

What a disappointment
I'm surprised Reese Witherspoon would appear in such a movie. It could have been done so well, but the moviemakers depended on too much of the same old thing . . . sex and vulgarity.

Adult or Older Teen Only audience...
Awful, Awful, awful ... beyond the terrible language and role models ... violence and belittling between Characters ... "outing" Santa repeatedly (so make sure any wee ones are loooong out of ear shot) ... This was just plain a waste of time and left "a bad taste" afterwards. I can't believe that we paid money to rent it.
The worst I have seen in a long long time.

We walked out a third of the way through
Went to see this on impulse on date night with just my husband. From the opening scene we knew it was a bad decision. Crude, distressingly dysunctional families, (rather than funny) - I kept wondering about what kind of parents would permit their children to be paid to be in this mess! We finally walked out during the scene with the women all pseudo-spiritually talking about their (crude) intentions for the new year. Honestly, I was mystified over the idea that by the end of this movie the couple supposedly decide they want to get married and have a family.
We have told NO ONE we saw this movie because we're just too ashamed.

Embarrassing. Very.
The story idea made me think this would be a good family film, so I went to see this with my 14-yr old son. The sexual humor was excessively crude, constant, and overwhelming. It was embarassing. I would never have gone. Thank God I didn't take my 9 year old daughter.

Your time is valuable. Why bother?
Hate it. Little redeeming value. Im a father with four GROWN children. it glorifies all that is not worthwhile in our society.

I laughed and felt a little uncomfortable
This movie definately deserves the pg-13 rating, I wouldn't let my young teen see it. The movie is pro-breastfeeding though! It has a more than a few scenes that I wouldn't want to explain and that made me feel uncomfortable.

A not so wholesome Christmas movie
I enjoy a good holiday film. They are funny, wholesome, moral, and most of all good clean family fun. Unfortunately, Four Christmases is not like that. It is very low brow, and almost feels as if it could have pulled a R rating. Most of the humor is dirty and cheap. There is a lot of swearing, within two minutes of the films starting “b**ch” and “D**n” are said. Moreover (within two minutes), the two main characters get involved in some sort of weird sexual roll playing, which leads to implied sex. The movie also is full of bad messages. Like unmarried sex, not needing to ever get married, its okay to lie about doing good deeds just to get away from your families to take a vacation. This movie shouldn't even be on your rental list. Just avoid at all costs. 2 out of 5

Not up to par
I would reccommend thinking hard about letting your young teen see this. The sexual humor was overwhelming for the most part. I went to see this soley because I am a fan of Reese Witherspoon, and even her character was unbelievable. Vince Vaughn got really annoying.

Hilarious Movie...don't take young children
I thought this movie was soooo funny. The whole theater was cracking up the whole time. However, this is NOT a movie for young kids. I would reccomend taking kids 15 and up, however be prepared for some awkward scenes if you do choose to take younger children. Best for mature teens and adults.

Parents of Santa Believers Beware!
Our 16 year old niece was visiting and we took her to see this along with our 10 year old daughter. I checked Common Sense Media prior and while it was PG 13 nothing seemed overly objectionable while looking for a movie that would amuse a kid, a teen and 2 adults. Please beware that the movie is of the type that claims parents are Santa and Santa is not real. Fair warning to all.
Otherwise it's a pretty funny movie.

Funny but sends wrong message
I thought the movie was funny several times but have to say that I was disappointed in the portrayal of Mary and Joseph in the church scene. Also the thought promotion that good sex is the primary ingredient for healthy relationships. We need to teach our younger kids the better ways to meet and engage in a relationship with someone, other than one night stands. Just my opinion.
