    Storyline

    • Trivia
      During the filming of the dinner sequence, Reese Witherspoon was hit in the face with a ceramic plate and required five stitches, which delayed the shoot for three days.
    • Goofs
      During the Taboo game, Denver answers "What is the capital of China?" with "Hong Kong". This is part of the joke. Denver and his wife, who obviously have little education, think that Hong Kong is the capital of China. The point of the game was for Denver to guess that "Hong Kong" was the answer on the card, which he did. The point of the scene was to demonstrate how well they knew each other and how poorly Kate and Brad knew each other. The fact that Denver got "Hong Kong" from "What is the capital of China?" helped to make that scene funny.
    • Quotes

      Howard: Boys, I don't want to speak ill of your mother on Christmas, but she's nothing but a common street whore.

    • Alternate versions
      The French release, distributed by Metropolitan Filmexport replaces the opening title card with one featuring the French title "Tout...Sauf En Famille" (which translates to Anywhere...Except Amongst Family) instead of having the original English title and subtitling it with the French one as is more common. Also, while an English title is displayed during the end credits, that one is not "Four Christmases" but "Anywhere But Home", the international English title for the film.

    Simple message with strong theme, if you get that this is not romantic comedy
    If you look at this not from romcom but rather from family drama perspective, you will see slight glimpse of the future. Now it is 2021 but in ten years this kind of easy and 'wrong funny' movie can be not cult but classic. It's actually smart although wrong marketed, it's not Christmas RomCom and not so funny. Vince Vaughn PLAYS 'funny guy' but in the core this man sad and can't see happy path rather play it cool as americans usually do. I'd say this film about some kind of PTSD of 'modern american life' in early XXI, and there some truth in both main performances. I like the fact that both characters accomplish their journeys.

    The cast in this flick are superb.

    I don't get its low rating, especially among the critics, this little movie deserves bit more respect. Probably it's like wine gets better with years.
