Four Christmases & The Day the earth stood still

Yesterday was fun! Saw 'Four Christmases' and 'The day the earth stood still'. The movies were surely not bad, but I would not recommend 'Four Christmases' to those who are used to Vince Vaughn comedies and are looking for something similar in this movie. It is supposed to be a romantic 'comedy' but this comedy isn't what you are used to seeing in Vince's other movies. I found him really disappointing. Reese Witherspoon was artificial too. Overall, the movie really didn't transition into a climax, it just bumped into it. I was watching the movie and the story line was still unfolding and suddenly I saw the credits come up from the bottom! Anywho, there wasn't much choice and I wanted to see a comedy so I went for it. Keanu Reeves on the other hand was pretty good in this sci-fi alien invasion flick (which is a remake of an old  movie...didn't know that until I imdbed it 10 minutes prior to the movie started!). There is a message at the end of the movie and I think . For some reason, I thought I was watching The Matrix for a fair proportion of the movie because Keanu Reeves has a Neo-like role as the saviour and the one! Jennifer Conelly looked really cute. Overall it had a decent story-line, except that the aliens didn't seem to have a USP you know? I mean they could just do anything. Touch and burn, see and kill, eat and kill or whatever! I would have loved to see a lot more giant robot action. That's one thing which every movie-goer will agree to I'm sure!
