Admit One: Black Friday Edition

Australia

Starring: Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman

Directed by: Baz Luhrmann

Four Christmases

Starring: Vince Vaughn, Reese Witherspoon

Directed by: Seth Gordon

Freshness: 25%

Consensus: “Despite a strong cast, this sour holiday comedy suffers from a hackneyed script.”

Milk (Limited)
