REVIEW. WHEN ITS A POSITIVE THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE PRODUCTION. NOW I HAVE NO AGENDA! I REVIEW MOVIES & SPECIALS AS A WAY TO KEEP TRACK OF WHAT I HAVE SEEN! I HAVE DISCOVERED MANY GEMS IN MY QUEST TO SEE AS MANY " C H R I S T M A S " MOVIES AS I CAN.
Someone keeps reporting my reviews. I guess they are jealous because I do tell the truth. I want to point out that I never make snide remarks about actors weight or real life sexual orientation. If there acting is terrible or limited "I talk about that". If a story is bad "I will mention that" So why am I being "picked on"? IMDB will not even tell me what someone found offensive. Well on to this review
In this film a woman who flies to her fiancé's home town alone to meet her future in-laws for the first time at their Christmas gathering. At the airport, after discovering that her luggage is lost and her mobile phone is broken, she meets her future brother-in-law by chance for the first time. He takes her to his parents' home, where she meets a warm loving family preparing for Christmas. Everything seems perfect until her "fiancé" arrives-and she realizes that she is with the wrong family.
Alicia Witt limited acting range is all apparent here. She is the same in all her roles (Then again so is Tom Cruise). This film however could of been better but it still works. The filmmakers did a great job by setting up "The Choices" that Alice Chapman has in front of her.
This film is predictable and has some flaws The phony laugh at the end should of been re-shot however the film does work.
What is nice is the fact that this film did not involve a poor widow woman or orphans.
Now will I watch it again. In fact I have. Twice more since I originally posted this review!
