“Four Christmases” is an overloaded movie that gradually adds several elements, even when it lacks space. It can’t slow down and take it easy, as it wants to be a clowning-around comedy that delivers romantic giggles.

Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon make an odd-looking couple that inspires only one thing: mismatch. Not only do they look like Snow White and the seven dwarfs, piled one on top of the other, but they also display incompatible attitudes. The two actors may be able to deliver outstanding performances separately, but they are far from being a match made in heaven.

While Vince Vaughn strolls around with a Mr. Hot smile on his face, Reese Witherspoon seems distant and cold, as if she wanted to get it over with quickly.

They fill the shoes of Brad and Kate, two people who form a couple and live together, but can’t stand the thought of marriage. They haven’t met the other’s folks yet and aren’t eager to make the big step either. Every Christmas they make up excuses in order to avoid winter tradition and travel to sunnier remote lands, far away from family drama, crazy siblings, wedding talks and table fights.

However, they get in trouble when their flight to Fiji is cancelled and their relatives see them on TV offering an interview with regard to their ruined holiday. As their cover story has been destroyed, the two have no other choice but to spend Christmas with their parents, who are divorced.

Brad and Kate have to attend four parties, which are packed with peculiar guests and odd family members who waste no time in attacking one another.

The second place was gained by John Travolta’s “Bolt”, which managed to surpass last weekend’s number one, “Twilight”.

“Bolt” earned $26,596,000 in ticket sales, very closely followe by “Twilight” with $26,370,000.

“Quantum Of Solace” gained an additional $19,500,000, bringing the total earning of the movie to $142,056,000 in three weeks since its release.

“Australia”, the epic movie with Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman, opened on the fifth place with only $14,815,000 in ticket sales. The movie was closely followed by “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa” with $14,500,000.

Another movie that opened this weekend, “Transporter 3” has manged to achieve the seventh place with $12,330,000.

The Top 10 was rounded up by “Role Models”, “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” and “Milk”.
