Being on the lookout for new Christmas movies, I stumbled on this. Billy Baldwin, Denise Richards, I thought it'll be alright.. Nooooooo,totally wrong
Father and son trade lives, and nothing but dull, poor acting and zero laughs follow. It could and should of been better, even the smallest bit, it's not exactly a new formula for a movie plot
The acting is absolutely shocking, it's laughable at times and it'll be the only laugh you'll get, well.. unless you read Shominy's review. Now that is funny!
There are many many Christmas movies out there that are much better than this. Do yourself a favour and skip.. you'll thank me
