All-star cast for 'Four Christmases'

Reese
WitherspoonI'm not usually into screwball Christmas movies but “Four Christmases” sounds like a winner.

Due in theaters next December, the romantic comedy will star Robert Duvall, John Favreau, Tim McGraw, Sissy Spacek, Mary Steenburgen, Vince Vaughn, Reese Witherspoon and Dwight Yoakam.

Reuters reports, “The story revolves around a newly married couple (Witherspoon and Vaughn) who decide to brave visits to all sets of their parents for the Christmas holiday - despite the scars each has from being raised in broken homes.”

Seth Gordon, whose previous credits include the documentary “The King of Kong,” is directing. With a killer ensemble cast like that, how can Gordon go wrong?
