This is a movie that most people will hate. It's way over-the-top, unneccessarily crude and the jokes require a special sense of humor. So you've been warned. Me? I loved it.I think Vince Vaughn is a comedic genius. I'm not sure why. He's not a good actor and his jokes aren't really that funny, but there's something about him and his delivery that I enjoy. Reese Witherspoon did okay in the movie as his side-kick, but she's too good an actor to be doing over-the-top comedies. You feel like her talent is being wasted throughout the duration of the film.
Jon Favreau, playing Denver, had to be my favorite character. It's crazy to see the short, stocky guy from Swingers play a short, buff UFC fighter in this movie. This is the same guy that directed Iron Man and here he is body slamming Vince Vaughn.
There are better holiday films out there and I wouldn't recommend this movie to very many people, but I got a laugh out of it.
Rating: 7 out of 10
