Four Christmases

In an effort to avoid spending Christmas with their dysfunctional families Brad and Kate make up an excuse of why they cannot come and have plans to take off to Fiji for the Holidays. When their plane is cancelled and they are caught on live TV suddenly their plans change. Now they have to attend 4 different Christmas gathering and get to know each others family. The question becomes will they and their relationship survive it? Great cast but a mediocre movie that is definitely not a must have. If it has starred anyone else it would have been truly painful to watch.

Deck the Halls

Dr. Steve Finch (Matthew Broderick) has his Christmas perfectly planned out until his new neighbor Buddy Hall (Danny Devito) moves in. These two guys couldn't be more different. Finch wants everything decorated tastefully, where Buddy goes crazy and tries to make his house so bright it can be seen from space. A competition soon erupts that might ruin Christmas for both of them. This is a pretty predictable movie, but it is still a cute holiday film for the whole family.

Unaccompanied Minors

A group of kids traveling alone at Christmas get snowed in together at a airport that is shut down due to a huge blizzard. After realizing that the "unaccompanied minors" room in completely unacceptable they sneak out to find other things to do, and in the process begin a battle with the airport management. I think this was an attempt to make a newer version of Home Alone, but it wasn't near as funny. It is a clean cut family movie that is okay to watch, but don't go into it with too high of expectations.
