When a hard-nosed NFL star realizes that his kids have grown up to become spoiled brats, he determines to toughen them up by making them spend their summer on the mean streets of Oakland, CA, in this comedy inspired by the story of New England Patriots footballer Tebucky Jones. Though the well-intending father is certain that his kids will realize the error of their ways if they only spend a little time on the same streets he did as a child, it isn't just the youngsters who end up benefiting from the unique experience in the end. Ice Cube stars in a family comedy penned by screenwriters Caleb Wilson and Matt Allen, and directed by Thomas Carter (Metro and Coach Carter). ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

A crafty couple run the Christmas Day gauntlet by racing to visit their divorced parents' four separate households in this Vince Vaughn/Reese Witherspoon comedy that proves the holidays are no time for relaxing. Brad (Vaughn) and Kate (Witherspoon) have made something of an art form out of avoiding their families during the holidays, but this year their foolproof plan is about go bust -- big time. Stuck at the city airport after all departing flights are canceled, the couple is embarrassed to see their ruse exposed to the world by an overzealous television reporter. Now, Brad and Kate are left with precious little choice other than to swallow their pride and suffer the rounds. Along the way, they perform in a church nativity play at the behest of Kate's mother's (Mary Steenburgen) pushy pastor Phil (Dwight Yoakam), contend with Brad's gruff father, Howard (Robert Duvall), and bullying brothers, Dallas (Jon Favreau) and Denver (Tim McGraw) -- a pair of trained UFC fighters -- and pay a visit to Brad's spacy, New Age mother, Paula (Sissy Spacek), who recently made waves in the family circle by marrying her son's childhood friend. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
