BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 200 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.
In this movie Meet Joy Robertson (Daphne Zuniga, TV's Melrose Place), a supermom who does it all -- even though her husband Stephen (David Sutcliffe, TV's Private Practice) and the rest of her family don't seem to appreciate just how hard she works, especially when it comes to Christmas. As the season rapidly approaches, the decorating, shopping, wrapping, baking and planning keep piling up - - and Joy's busy family just expects her to make it all magically happen without any help. Not this year! Joy goes on strike for the holidays, quickly inspiring a town-wide movement.
This film had potential but fails. The actors playing the teen boys look like they are 30. There is also a woman in this who has a way over the top southern accent.
I am however a huge fan of David Sutcliffe and he is charming here. The film however ends with a stupid sing along that just doesn't work. It should have ended "ONE YEAR LATER" showing the family working together to make "Christmas Enjoyable FOr Everyone".
Watchable but forgettable as well!
