An average movie

When was the last time we saw a good movie starring Vince Vaughn ? Seriously, this movie was already his second Christmas feature and, even though it was not as bad as 'Fred Claus', it was still pretty damned average. In fact, Vaughn himself was actually not so bad and Reese Witherspoon was charming as usual but neither of them was actually funny and since I was watching a comedy, it was definitely a big issue. Furthermore, there was a really neat supporting cast (Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, Jon Voight, Jon Favreau, Mary Steenburgen, Dwight Yoakam, Tim McGraw, Kristin Chenoweth,…) but they all played some tedious characters so the whole thing felt like a big waste of talented actors.  I have to admit it, there were a few good scenes here and there and I did laugh a couple of times but there were also so many bad jokes, those jokes were even mean sometimes and it made the whole thing rather painfull to watch. Above all, the plot was just really generic and predictable. To conclude, even though it wasn’t the worse movie starring Vince Vaughn I have seen,  it was still pretty weak though and it is not really worth a look whatsoever, even if you are desperate to watch a Christmas flick.
