Elevator Pitch |
In suburban New York two families live on opposite sides of the street in up market houses. One contains a father, mother and a daughter who has been away for some years, the other a father and mother, mostly at odds, a daughter and a son. When the daughter of the former returns home after falling out with her boyfriend all hope that she will get together with the son of the latter. But no – she chooses the father, with resulting mayhem. |
Content |
It’s Christmas so there are a lot of Christmas decorations. There is a bit of snogging and quite a bit of shouting, but nothing remotely interesting. In fact so little happens that no-one has bothered to fill in the content advisory on IMDb |
A View |
Even Hugh Lawrie fans are unlikely to be excited by this. You will feel short changed if you pay any money at all to see it. If you are after a romantic comedy choose one of the others on my list. (I’m not sure sometimes how my wordpress template associates one film with another). |
