    This movie is about a bunch of people who even on a good day no one would be interested in anything they had to say, much less at christmas time. Most Christmas movies will give you some kind of a good feeling somewhere along the line..but after 40 minutes of this awful movie, I switched it off and put it right back into the envelope to send back. Don't waste your time with this one. It's really not worth it. Bad acting too!

    Awful acting, awful plot. Most of the actors must have been related to the director. Don't bother.

    This is the most awful Christmas movie I have ever seen. It _feels_ like it was made at home by some guy and all his kinfolk. Bad acting...stupid plot. I highly recommend you do not watch this movie. Please, please, don't attempt to watch this movie!
