There’s nothing we like more this time of year than a seasonal comedy. But sadly, most of the efforts in recent years have been nothing like a seasonal comedy. Deck The Halls And Christmas With The Cranks, you know where you sit on Santa’s nice/naughty list.
But Vince Vaughn – who didn’t exactly crack loads of smiles with Fred Claus – thinks he has the key to a blend of the chaotic and the heartwarming with Four Christmases, which already boasts Reese Witherspoon as his wife.

Sissy Spacek has agreed to play the New Age-influenced mother to Vaughn’s character, while Steenburgen is the changeable mum to Witherspoon.
