I have had a crush on Nicole De Boer since her Days on Star Trek, but I couldn't help but feel terrible pity for her while watching this terribly cast, and cheaply produced made for VHS movie.
As romantic lead, Muldoon's lifeless acting could have been a satire of Keeneu Reeves at his worst. (spoiler: his wig upstages him in every scene.)
The child actor's pretended innocence is so projected you wonder if they ever delayed their shooting sequence to clean him up and escort hookers out of his trailer.
The nice thing is that they spared all expenses in showing how they spared all expenses. Whether it was extensive use of B-Roll and blue screen effects, or cleverly filling time with voice over to fill time, there was no expense... literally no expense.
So if you long for an hour and a half of looking at Nicole's pretty mole without the interference of plot line or genuine discovery; Or if you love to be challenged to sit through the worst movies ever produced, this should be on your hot list for the holidays.
On thing I have to admit, the movie did inspire me. Within minutes of clicking in to the movie in progress, I realized it was a bad movie. It was however so bad I was compelled to continue watching, hoping for a redeeming moment, or watching for evidence of intelligent life, like the old alkaseltzer commercial... I couldn't believe I watched the whole thing. And then I had to find some mountain top from which to announce the advent of the worst Christmas movie ever... Which this is not. This is just the worst Christmas movie I've seen in years.
I would however consider it a candidate weapon in psychological warfare. I'm sure they could have removed Quaddafi from office twice as quickly if they had just pumped this movie in to all the TV sets in his mansions... Of course he would have still ended up dead. Only it would have been at his own hands.
Final bit of advice, this movie should only be shown to children who are exceptionally smart. Being exceptionally smart can cause alienation and social anxiety among their peers, and this movie will certainly serve to enhance superficial thinking, and it may effectively reduce your child's IQ. Of course, repeat viewing may cause significant cognitive damage.
But hey, Nicole De Boer!
