    Loved Holiday baggage Cheryl Ladd and Barry Bostwick great supporting cast good

    An estranged father finds his family at Christmas

    "Holiday Baggage," also known by the title, "Baggage," may be a difficult movie for some people to watch. Especially someone who has had a similar family situation with an estranged father. One can understand that such a film may not be highly thought of or enjoyed. Besides that, this film has some choppy editing and seems to be disconnected in places.

    The screenplay is not particularly strong. And while it has a decent cast, none of the acting is exceptional. The direction seems slow and indecisive in places. With all of that, it is a good story about reconnecting within a family and of a father nearing retirement maturing and realizing what he has been missing. It's okay for a watch but not a film to seek out or add to a package for holiday viewing.

    Balls to the wall excitement!!!

    Barry Bostwick is the maestro of ruin. Prepare for a rollicking tribute of XMAS tragicomedy as you strap into a crazy holiday roller coaster that's like a mix of TV's "7th Heaven" and the whimsy of Hollywood's "Harry Potter". It's so great.

    She's less than half his age

    He's 63 she's 30. Come on. Is it true love? I'd love to see the prenup especially since he's a multimillionaire. The true message of Xmas is Get Some! Chicka Bow Wowww
