Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn team up for a festive comedy about a couple that have to visit four different parents as a result of divorce. The director, Seth Gordon is well known for films such as ‘The King of Kong: A Fistful of quarters’ but has chosen to move into a more narrative territory with this film.

The Coen brothers – Joel and Ethan are known for making classics, such as ‘No Country for Old Men’ and ‘Fargo’ and although this film is of an acceptable effort, it has some funny jokes and has big stars such as George Clooney and Brad Pitt staring in it – I cannot imagine it will be up for any awards any time soon.
The plot is very basic – two gormless gym instructors (Brad Pitt and Frances McDormand) come across some ex CIA memoirs, after this event takes place, many quite …

Ben Stiller has acted in some excellent, witty, clever and funny films – this is not one of them.
This film is also directed by Ben Stiller and is a clear attempt to do something different – even if it is an unsuccessful attempt. The film’s plot start with a group of actors, all about to play a part in a highly funded war film, however, their personalities get in the way, and the fact that they are all self-obsessed stops them from working effectively, in a rather random turn of …
