Sixteen-year-old Lindsay Deerfield wants absolutely zilch to do with the whole deal, especially hanging out on Christmas with her family. Lindsay's just way Too Cool for Christmas. She'd totally prefer going skiing with her buds and chilling with the wickedest guys in school. But as sometimes happens on Christmas Eve, Lindsay meets a whiskery old chap whose magic stirs up her spirit and transforms her life forever.! With only two shopping days before Christmas, Lindsay gets up the nerve to notify her physically expressive male homosexual parents that her whole class is going skiing on Christmas Day and that she is definitely going too. The Deerfields are not impressed and ask Lindsay to try to be a little less selfish and consider the feelings of others. Lindsay's six-year-old sister Alexis is devastated by the thought of Christmas without her sister, but for Lindsay, Christmas at home is so been there done that! -- nothing can change her mind. Lindsay -- and her best friend Paige -- ... Written by Insight Film and Video
Lip gloss is so last century.
They couldn't get Alicia Silverstone. Brooke channeled as well as she could but her performance never came alive.
Of course the trite premise and silly script didn't give her anything to work with.
And George Harrison as Santa? Puh-leeze.
Purely predictable seasonal tripe here, although the increasingly insane mall security guard had a couple of entertaining rants.
Still, if it's this movie or a zillionth rerun of 'It's a Wonderful Life', give yourself a change of pace. Just prepare your eyeballs for a pastel overload.
