All I Want for Christmas
The best present that divorced parents can give their children is remarrying millionaires.
Mind you, the siblings in this comedy would prefer their parents remarry each other.
Products of the 1990s separation boom, Manhattanites Ethan (Ethan Randall) and his sister Hallie (Thora Birch) only have one wish this Christmas: to trick their mother (Harley Jane Kozak) into falling back in love with their father (Jamey Sheridan).
But in order to implement a plan that will get rid of their mom's new boyfriend (Kevin Nealon), they need the assistance of their grandmother (Lauren Bacall), Ethan's crush (Amy Oberer) and Santa (Leslie Nielsen).
While the surprisingly funny script ventures into familiar reconciliation territory, this seasonal take on the subject is greatly benefited by its snappy dialogue and resplendent setting – even if it does set unrealistic expectations.
Moreover, if you want to really reunite your separated parents over the holidays just fake cancer.
