A lighthearted, joyful comedy that gives the new, superbly comedic, meaning to a traditional Christmas party. Very amusing and hearty, Christmas in Connecticut presents a wonderfully cheerful love story with many slapstick elements.
When a war hero Jefferson Jones comes back home and wants to spend the Holidays in a nice, homely atmosphere, fate sends him to the doorstep of a well-known food critic Elisabeth Lane. Unfortunately for her, she has lied for a long time to her readers about having a loving family and a house in the countryside.And now is the time for a perfect set-up. With the help of a few friends she arranges a drastically improvised make-believe ceremony.
As one can imagine, from the beginning nothing seems to go as planned and after a few laughable moments everything goes amusingly berserk. Love takes over, and Elisabeth - despite having a still unwed, fake husband - falls in love with her handsome guest. The whole mystification goes out of control and the Christmas in ruined for the amusement of some, and for the disgust of others.
With an enchanting feel and many hilarious sequences, Christmas in Connecticut is a screwball comedy that will definitely appeal to most viewers, more so during the annual family gatherings.
