Here’s the premise: Superficial couple (Witherspoon and Vaughan) sneak off to vacation each Christmas each year instead of visiting each of their divorced parents. When they get caught at the airport, they are forced to endure (you guessed it!) four Christmas parties on the same day. They quickly find their relationship is not so functional, which they manage to completely fix before the credits roll.
Things we learned from this movie? Vaughan is not a leading man, better left for supporting roles. Witherspoon is quickly becoming the next Kate Hudson, in that she can only do rom-coms. And finally – never doubt that Hollywood can take a predictable movie and take it exactly to its predictable conclusion.

I read the review from Roger Ebert in which he pointed out that this movie could have been called "Four Thanksgivings" or "Four Easters." The Christmas period doesn't have much impact on this movie at all, apparently.
As an aside, apparently Reese and Vince despise one another now and they refuse to do any publicity together for it.
