Hey folks, Harry here... You all know how much we here at AICN loved THE KING OF KONG: A FISTFUL OF QUARTERS - which is why it saddens me to bitch about Seth Gordon's latest creation, FOUR CHRISTMASES.

More annoying is the cast, which I really love - but for some reason in this trailer they seem as appealing as Possum Pie. BTW, I don't think that's very appealing. You have Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon... there's the awesome Mary Steenburgen, Sissy Spacek, Robert Duvall and Tim McGraw... and our current, he makes us so happy deep inside, Jon Favreau as a seeming extra from THE ROAD WARRIOR - admittedly - he's the reason I will see the film at a press screening.

I don't know. Maybe it is the attitude of the trailer - I love Christmas. In fact, just yesterday, my wife and I were at "old lady stores" looking at blown glass Christmas ornaments sort of checking out what we may want to get in the coming season. Though primarily we've begun our Halloween decoration quest and acquiring!

Anyway - I think I have a disconnect with folks, films and stories that have such a cynical vibe to them. Perhaps it is just a bad trailer, or perhaps it is indicative of the project as a whole, but I hope not. I'm rooting for Seth Gordon to have a solid career.
