Naturally, "Transporter 3" exists in an alternate universe where cars can fly through the air, tilt between trucks and perilously land on a moving train. Bomb technology is a bit strange in this universe as well, where right before the critical 76th foot, they glow bright red, presumably to remind everyone of Christmas before they all die.
"Four Christmases"
Speaking of the holiday season, "Four Christmases" attempts a scientific study of what happens when a studio takes an amusing man like Vince Vaughn, and sticks him in a movie devoid of any actual amusement. When a couple tries to avoid their family on Christmas but cannot, they have to interact with each other's relatives, and, in theory, hilarity ensues.
A theory however, is often proven false.
It is a very rare feat that a trailer cannot find one actually funny thing from a movie to amuse an audience with, but "Four Christmases" has managed to do just that. If people actually see this movie, the world as it is currently known might possibly end. The best, most amusing moments from this "comedy" pulled together in a mere two minutes are less amusing than a head cold, and far more agonizing than one.
