Four Christmases

Brad McVie and Kate Kinkaid are a happily unmarried couple living in San Francisco. Three years into their relationship, they remain uninterested in marriage or children, preferring to role-play as strangers, take dance lessons for the fun of it, and avoid their dysfunctional families during the holiday by traveling abroad "for charity work".

At Christmas, Brad and Kate plan a relaxing vacation in Fiji, but heavy fog grounds the entire airport. They are unexpectedly interviewed by a television news crew, notifying their families that their holiday plans are now canceled, and forcing them to visit all four of their divorced parents in one day.

They make their first reluctant trip to see Brad's father Howard, where Brad is beaten up by his amateur cage-fighter brothers Denver and Dallas, and Kate is surprised to learn that Brad's real name is Orlando. Brad's expensive gifts for the family lead to more tension, while his out-of-control nephews and pregnant sister-in-law Susan leave Kate uncertain whether she does want children. The disastrous visit ends after Brad falls off the roof trying to install a satellite dish.
