Brad and Kate were happy together, especially for being unmarried and having no children. they had similar family background, where both parents were divorced, siblings brought nothing but agony during childhood, causing them to suffer awkward memories and resentments. 3 years together and they still weren't comfortable sharing this past with each other. for past Christmases, they would avoid meeting the families by making up lies. but this Christmas, all flights were canceled and they were forced to visit the 4 families that they dreaded so much.
there was nothing special about the film, where most of the time it was predictable. but there were some fun moments and some really good laughs here and there. the 4 families were extremely crazy in their own ways, which also reflected Kate's charming personality while Brad was busy being a total jerk. they worked well together without the families, but once everyone got into the picture, the sarcasm was way too much for me, especially his attitude that leaves no room for discussion. but that also made all the begging to return to her side all the sweeter to savor.
