[first lines]Trudie: [narrating] I'm not crazy. I'm a long way from crazy. Doing one crazy thing does not make a person crazy, though I have to admit this isn't how I expected to be spending my Christmas... and I'm sure it's not how David Martin planned on spending his.
[to David who is walking down a snow-covered road in the middle of nowhere]
Trudie: So, you've been walking for what, about an hour? And you've gone exactly 1.8 miles and the nearest gas station is 20 miles away - you do the math. Look, why don't you come back to the house, we'll make some hot chocolate, okay?

I love Christmas movies!
I watch as many as I possibly can throughout December, but let's face it... the plots can be kind of redundant for Christmas movies.
Holiday in Handcuffs presented a NEW story line. While it was a little predictable as plots go, this particular story was new.
It was funny, warm, and light-hearted. The story is a "chick flick" but, even my husband laughed throughout.
Growing up with Saved by the Bell and Sabrina the Teenage Witch.. it was fun to see Mario Lopez and Melissa Joan Hart "all grown up." If you're looking for fun, light-hearted, holiday fare with an original storyline... I recommend this movie.
