Why hasnt Vince Vaughn promoted Four Christmases?

Reese Witherspoon hit the publicity trail hard for her comedy Four Christmases with Vince Vaughn. She’s been doing the late night TV circuit and has granted plenty of interviews. While Reese’s perma-grin has been plastered all over magazines, Vaughn has done nary an interview. He also didn’t show up to the premiere of Four Christmases in LA. There was an interview with Vince in Esquire Magazine that came out earlier this month that kept mentioning how fat he was, but apart from that I couldn’t find much. Maybe he gained a lot of weight and isn’t comfortable making appearances, or maybe the rumors about a rift with type-A Witherspoon are true. Either way, he seems like a poor sport for not doing his part to promote the film.

It didn’t matter much that Vaughn didn’t hold up his end of the promotion bargain. Four Christmases really cleaned up at the box office this Thanksgiving. It took in $46.7 million in five days, which makes it the third biggest holiday opening of all time. Families flocked to the PG-13 comedy despite the general disapproval of critics. The film only has a 26% aggregate rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics saying that there’s little or no chemistry between leads Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon and that the gags are predictable and overdone.

People needed something to see this season and they picked this lukewarm comedy. Sometimes microwaved leftovers are just the thing to hit the spot. Did any of you see this film and did you like it? Was it worth the price of admission and an hour and a half of your time? Maybe Vaughn thought it was going to tank and decided to bail early. Reese doesn’t give up though, and this time she was vindicated.
