Reese Witherspoon arrives on the red carpet in a navy satin Nina Ricci bustier dress with beaded embroidery and bustled hem at the L.A. premiere of her new romantic comedy, Four Christmases, held at the Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood on Thursday (November 20).

The movie is about how two young people like the winter holiday. Every year in the eve of Christmas Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon), embark on a holiday tradition they have shared every year since they met—ditching their crazy families for a relaxing, fun-filled vacation in some sunny exotic locale. There, sipping margaritas by the pool, they toast the season, knowing they have once again avoided the chaos and emotional fallout of their four respective households: divorced parents, squabbling siblings, out-of-control kids and all the simmering resentments and awkward moments that are the hallmarks of every family Christmas. But not this year. Shorts and sunglasses packed, Brad and Kate are trapped at the San Francisco airport by a fogbank that cancels every outbound flight. Worse yet, they are caught on camera by a local news crew, revealing their whereabouts to the whole city…and to their families. With no escape and no excuses, they are now expected home by Brad's father (Robert Duvall). And Kate's mother (Mary Steenburgen). And Brad's mother (Sissy Spacek). And Kate's father (Jon Voight). Four Christmases in one day. As they brace themselves for a marathon of homecomings, Brad and Kate expect the worst—and that's exactly what they get. But as Brad counts down the minutes to their freedom, Kate surprisingly finds herself tuned to the ticking of a different clock. At the end of the day, each will gain a new perspective on where they came from…and where they're going. Getting to know themselves and each other as they really are could finally give them a chance at the kind of love they've only been playing at.

Four Christmases (or Four Holidays in Australia) opens in theaters everywhere on November 26 and also stars Vince Vaughn, Sissy Spacek, Kristin Chenoweth, Jon Voight, Jon Favreau and Robert Duvall.
