One movie out this week is Four Christmases – the second part in Vince Vaughn’s trilogy of inexplicably awful Christmas films.
But Four Christmases isn’t just any old inescapably terrible Vince Vaughn Christmas film. No, Four Christmases is the Christmas film where Vince Vaughn and his co-star Reese Witherspoon apparently decided that they absolutely hated each other during filming, making the shoot a nightmare for everybody involved.
Except if you ask Reese Witherspoon about that, she’ll tell you it’s all hooey. Looking to dispel those rumours, Reese Witherspoon has come forward to say that she didn’t hate Vince Vaughn at all, and that he’s the funniest actor she’s ever worked with. Reese should be careful what she says; Jennifer Aniston once thought the same about Vince Vaughn and look what happened to her – John Mayer. Gree.
It’s Christmas soon, and do you know what that means? It means it’s time to go and watch a staggeringly disappointing Christmas movie where Vince Vaughn gets to play the exact same fast-talking character that Vince Vaughn has ever played, and there’s snow and stuff.
That’s right – Four Christmases is released this week, and it’s the perfect film for anyone who sat through all of Fred Claus and didn’t once feel like pulling their eyes out and pushing them up their bum. But only those people.
However, even though superficially it looks like Four Christmases is yet another movie where Vince Vaughn yammers away endlessly, falsely convinced of his own comedic genius, and then learns a sappy lesson about the value of family at the end, it also has its own USP. Four Christmases is apparently the Vince Vaughn/ Reese Witherspoon hate movie.
Last year it was reported that Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon were clashing furiously on the set of Four Christmases because Reese Witherspoon is an Oscar-winning actress who likes preparation and Vince Vaughn usually ignores the script to just blather “Hummana hummana hummana. Hummana? Hummana HUMMANA!” for hours at a time until he says enough words to allow an editor to individually splice the original line back together. Or something.
It didn’t sound like a happy set at all but, now that Four Christmases is actually being released, Reese Witherspoon has decided to deny everything. You know what? Actually she loves Vince Vaughn. AFP reports:
“Every co-star I ever work with I’m either having an affair with him, I’m about to get married with him, or having a baby or we absolutely cannot stand each other. We got along great, we were very good friends and we were very much partners on this movie. Vince is the funniest person I’ve ever worked with. It was a challenge for me to stay there and keep up with him. But I feel really a better actor for that experience.”
Wow, that told us. So, on behalf of everyone, we’d like to apologise to Reese Witherspoon. We don’t know where the rumours about you always hooking up with your co-stars came from. Certainly not from the time you married Ryan Phillipe right after Cruel Intentions was released. Or the time you got together with Jake Gyllenhaal, pretty much the first co-star you had after the divorce from Ryan came through. Certainly not those two facts.
And also, while we’re in hole-picking mode, it seems a bit unlikely that Vince Vaughn is the funniest person you ever worked with, Reese. Remember that you also made a film with Joaquin Phoenix once. And he is funny. Or he smells funny, at least. That’s the main thing.

They just don’t make movies like they use too
Grant it there’s a few good ones now but
There’s a certain air that comes out of a 1930 1940 1950
Or even 1920s movie that is special and I feel
The magic in the show. I just can’t seem to
Find it in recent movies a few came close but
Not yet…..

Old movies suck and are for stupid people. 1950’s films were not allowed to suggest that a male and female were married, because losers feelings would be hurt. So it was “implied” that people were married with bedroom scenes where the man and woman slept in different beds in the same room. I guess that is called “classy, civilized, and romantic”. Screw that. I want full view porn sex in every movie. What is wrong here is our society teaches a mental disease that sex and normal human behavior is bad, and, that oppressive ideas are “romantic”. The only people that oppressive behavior is romantic to is ultra insecure females and others in society who seek to control sex to the extent that humans see sex as hand in hand with a belief system. Why? So those in control of that belief system can control you and take a little bit of your stuff; Justifying it all in the name of their all mighty one. Its that simple. Now grow up humanity and get a freakin clue. Any human who lets as much death and suffering happen and the gods do, would get fired from their job.

Hmm, that’s funny because I was there the entire time this film was being shot and I don’t remember her or anyone else making it ‘a nightmare for everybody involved.’ In fact, Reese was nothing but gracious to everyone in the cast and on the crew, as I recall. Of course, my recollection is based on FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE as opposed to this article, which is drawn from someone’s lackluster imagination.
Yet another example of desperate celebrity media trying to drum up a story where none exists – keep up the good, um, B.S.!!!

All three of you are fucking mental. Especially you, ‘fantasy movie-employee’ Graves.

Reese Witherspoon is a phony and a b!tch in a real life, don’t belive her PR BS.
