Where to watch Four Christmases

In the mid-2000s, Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn became staples of the romantic comedy genre. Between Sweet Home AlabamaJust Like HeavenThe Break-Up, and Couples Retreat, the duo provided many hits that are still beloved today. In 2008, Witherspoon and Vaughn teamed up for a Christmas movie, Four Christmases.

Kate Kinkaid (Witherspoon) and Brad McVie (Vaughn) do not like spending time with their families around the holidays, but after their vacation falls through, they are forced to spend Christmas with their dysfunctional families. However, Kate and Brad both have divorced parents, meaning they have to visit each parent separately, which comes out to four Christmases.

In 2012, the world of male stripping took center stage in Magic Mike. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, Magic Mike stars Channing Tatum as Mike Lane, an aspiring entrepreneur who works odd jobs as a handyman during the day. At night, Mike comes alive as a male stripper, wowing the club with his innate charm and attractive dance moves. With a budget of $7 million, Magic Mike became an instant hit, grossing over $167 million worldwide. The film spawned a 2015 sequel, Magic Mike XXL, which also became a box-office success, grossing $122 million against a $12 million budget.

To complete the trilogy, Tatum graced the stage as Mike Lane one final time in Magic Mike's Last Dance. Originally supposed to be released exclusively to streaming, Warner Bros. opted to give the third film a theatrical release in February 2023. While the film struggled in theaters (it only grossed $57 million), Magic Mike's Last Dance will now get the chance to find another audience on streaming.
