Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Jon Favreau. How could this movie not be great or at least funny? Throw in Peter Billingsley, Ralphie from Christmas Story as director, who also directed Vaughn in Four Christmases. Funny? Has to be funny, right?Not according to my local paper, the Daily Breeze. I should stop reading their reviews. It's just the movie reviews are in the same section as the Sudoku puzzle. Still, Vince Vaughn. Jon Favreau. Peter Billingsley. I enjoyed Four Christmases. I just had to decide for my self.
Okay, it wasn't so bad that I wanted my time back. And the resort they went to did appear to be my idea of pure paradise. For my money the best part of the movie was the Guitar Hero showdown and what ends up being Vaughn's character's inner animal spirit.
Remember, I'm not here to decide for you. I think it is important we make up our own minds. I'm simply blah, blah, blogging about my take.
