How obvious was the plot 0/10

Bah Humbug. Schmaltzy american feelgood pap. Forced to sit thru this on boxing day with my mother-in-law as it is the sort of poorly made, appallingly scripted &^%$ I avoid like the plague. If you're old & sad, or young with no intelligence watch this. If you have any self respect then watch something else
