Anywhere but home Movie Review

Cast: Vince Vaughn. Reese Witherspoon
Direction: Seth Gordon
Genre: Romantic comedy
Rating:
downshowrating=1Few years back Sarah Jessica Parker and Dermot Mulroney starred in anything but funny rom-com ���The Family stone���. Sarah played an uptight businesswoman in the film who finds herself a complete misfit in her boyfriend���s polar opposite eccentric family.The film failed to amuse the audiences and following its footsteps is Anywhere but home.
The film is an annoying tale of how an argumentative couple finds themselves miserable in the company of their divorced parents. They actually intend to spend the Christmas holidays on their own by flying off to an exotic locale to avoid the chaos of their respective families untill weather plays spoilsport. Their flights are cancelled and are thus forced to spend Christmas with parents. Soon they start taking turns and visiting his father, his mother, her father, her mother.
His brothers are morons who hit him for no reason, father a weirdo who wants to fix everything in his house on his own and his mother believes in sleeping with her son���s best friend.
Her father is surprisingly understanding, mother horny and sisters hornier!
Throughout the movie, Vaughn and Witherspoon find themselves either trapped in their family���s company or trapped with each other! Their differences seem kiddish and problems extremely juvenile.
The chemistry is zero, nor do they look physically compatible as Vaughn is extremely tall and Reese looks short enough to be his daughter.
As far as the performance is concerned, Reese is wasted and Vince is as annoying as he has always been in his films. He is loud, monotonous and plain boring. We tolerated him in The Break-up, Wedding Crashers but in this one he is just intolerable.
There is absolutely nothing in this film that will make you smile. It only manages to drive you crazy with its stupidity.
