After falling in love with Michael Shanks on Stargate, I've been trying to get my hands on some of his other work. This wasn't worth the effort I had to go through to find a copy. Shanks does what he can but even he can't make up for the cheesy lines and major plot holes.
The aspect that bothered me most was the attitude of the mother. She acted more like a spoilt 16 year old than a professional women in her 30s with an 11 year old son. And I wasn't buying her grief either. For someone who apparently had the fairytale marriage, she was able to switch off her grief at the drop of a hat.
Burkely Duffield does a pretty good job as Jonathan and has good potential for the future.
The one highlight that made the 90mins bearable was Michael Shanks as Kevin Harrison. I totally bought him as a kind and caring teacher. I was hoping to see more of him skating though but that's just my wishful thinking ;-) For Shanks fans I recommend only watching the scenes he is in. For everyone else avoid it unless you like cheesy Christmas movies with cliché dialogue and no real plot.
