I found Four Christmases to be another movie I'd pay $5 and not $10 to see. It was a B-/B in my book based on it being predictable for the majority. I really felt it opened horribly and that the first scene make entirely no sense in the movie's context. Afterwards, I talked about it with others and we agreed that it must have just been a funny idea and didn't have a movie for a home.
Secondly, the Santa-spoiler was quite disturbing to me. Many parents thrive on keeping Santa alive for as long as possible and this movie just plainly spitting out "Your dad is Santa" bothered me quite a bit. I didn't see any indication/warning to parents about this and having been with two children on the verge of not believing anymore, my eyes became frozen on the screen when he said that. Ugh... Boo.
