Friday, September 12, 2008 at 10:38PM Movie Trailer - Reese and Vince Celebrate 'Four Christmases'
Unfortunately, we deal with a lot of rumors when
covering even the most unsavory corners of show business. Some you have to take
with a grain of salt (Cher playing Catwoman) and others you tend to believe even
if there's no empirical evidence (*cough* Ryan Seacrest). So when the rumor mill
spat out a little item about the upcoming movie
Four Christmases, it was easy to take at face
value. 
The rumor: Stars
Reese
Witherspoon and
Vince Vaughn didn't get along. The story goes
that Vince would show up a little late to the set, maybe more than a little
late, and since the film is peopled with some of his bestest buds (Jon
Favreau,
Peter Billingsley), it was kind of "his" movie
set. This, apparently, didn't sit well with Reese, who is famous for exhibiting
the exact opposite behavior. I buy this rumor. Those things make sense to me.
Now the byproduct of those rumors is about to hit
theaters, and despite the fact that he made Fred Claus, Vaughn is doing another
holiday comedy. There are a couple things in the trailer I didn't necessarily
expect: Robert
Duvall, a few of the comedic high points (Favreau as a UFC fighter),
and it could be one of those small surprises. On the flip side, you wonder how
many of the film's best jokes are in the trailer, and if the real fun might have
been watching the oil and water mixing on the set.


Four Christmases opens November 26th, and I think both of them could use a hit. But will they deserve it?
On a related note, I saw this picture while be-boppin' around the internet this week. So, you know, just because...
