Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Where to begin.... Melissa Joan Heart always surprises me, when I think it can't get any worse.... It always seems to. The premise is easy and kind of fun, girl has a bad life, wants to impress her parents blah blah, so she kidnaps Mario Lopez (don't worry no spoilers this is what it says on the TV Guide menu) so she kidnaps him and forces him to act like her Boy friend.This movie will warm your heart, melt your soul and make you feel stupid after watching it. If you want to kill some time, sit in front of the TV and have one of those mindless evening's then this movie is good for you. Kids will not like it, its a love story deep down inside, and I do not think kids would enjoy this mindless made for TV movie.Of course the acting is sub par, then again its Melissa Joan Heart and Mario Lopez, so you know what you're going to get before entering in to it. Watch this movie if you want to kill time or have a nice movie for you and that special someone to watch on Christmas, other than that if you do not expect a lot out of it, and know its pointless before sitting down to watch it, then go for it. You might actually like it. It is not the worst Made for TV movie I have ever seen, nor is it the best, its about mid level. Overall its pretty stupid, funny and entertaining all in one.In one sentence it can be expressed as cheese mixed with charm.

This movie caught me by surprise. Everything about the story hangs heavy on Melissa Joan Hart...and she has just the right amount of charm and self-effacing humor to carry this outrageous (and obviously improbable) story.It begins with Hart's character Trudy, preparing herself for a holiday with her parents, who are played wonderfully by Markie Post (who has brilliant comedic timing...since her "Night Court" days, you can sense she wants to break a more un-coventional sweet prude roles like her spin in "Theres Something About Mary") here she plays it for more frustrated means. A boiling pot, seethes before it explodes. She is runs on a time clock no one else can live up to. And Timothy Bottoms, whose ultra-conservative view points has him looking like George W. Seemed like he wants his daughters to take life more seriously, which is actually a great message, since most conservatives turn their mates into suffering housewives (refer back to Markie Post).So Trudy works at a diner owned by a Hindu Indian. The odd characters prepare you for the attitude you MUST bring with you into this story (remember "Tremors"?...same director). Trudy has just been dumped by her boyfriend. You see the dude and we clearly see that he is everything her parents want. And not remotely sensible to her personality. Trudi's overbearing mother demands that she meet her mate. My guess, and is parroted, that they just hope she isn't a lesbian. She is publicly humiliated at the diner. And left in emotional pieces. Enter David Martin (played considerably low key by Mario Lopez). She kidnaps him an takes him on an adventure with his parents.A similar story came to mind while I was watching this..."Buffalo 66". It was a harder edge version of this movie. And, it has an equally down-n-out character trying to live up to the expectation of overbearing parents during the holidays.Trudy's buoyancy is so endearing you also wish for her to just do good with her life. You know she will find a way, even after this enormous twist of fate that has drawn these two people together.Yes, it's sometimes cornball. Some moments get real serious. As when Trudy finally acknowledges David is not who he seems to be. Or when everyone reveals themselves. But the great touch of director Ron Underwood is that he never gets to the point where we can't have a laugh. Well-deserved laugh. The language and situations, if MPAA rated, probably would've given them a PG-13 rating. But...it's just so cutesy, you can't help yourself from liking all involved. These are sincere people. Yes, you know the ending, but it's a really good journey.

Not bad for a TV movie. A perfect movie for movie marathon on the holiday.Mario Lopez as always is charming and sexy. Melissa Joan Hart played a good role too.I really like the plot. Some scenes cracked me. But something is bothering me.How could you possibly be in love with just a little amount of time and no chemistry between those two persons? Overall, let's just say thank God I was not wasting my money to watch this in the theater, but still good to watch.

An utterly ridiculous premise. A girl breaks up with her boy friend, and kidnaps a guy with hand cuffs to get him to pose as her boy friend for Christmas with her family. Make sense? Of course not, but it doesn't matter.Even using her Sabrina powers, I doubt the tiny MJ Hart could over power Mario Lopez. Nor is it likely the parents would be fooled by this absurd scheme, especially when the guy starts yelling to them for help! Well, it's a rom-com, so anything goes. On top of that, the Christmas theme demands the exact sentimental outcome you'll see coming more than 50 light years away. Even if you can't give it the poetic license it needs (a lot, lol), you can still laugh at how ludicrous the whole thing is.Silly nonsense, but utterly harmless. For a brainless diversion, this one, believe it or not, works.
