Nell (Anne Heche) is a recently divorced Mom and trying to make the best Christmas possible without their Father. But it seems everything that could possibly go wrong, does go wrong as the list of bad things that happen go on and on and on.
This is a really funny new Premier Hallmark Christmas movie for 2014. Like “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles” before it, a series of disasters occur one after the other making this the unluckiest Christmas ever for this small family. But the harder things get, the more they have to work together to get through it. They spread their bad luck with other characters who they encounter over the long Christmas Eve, and though they make new friends along the way, they pull them all into the vortex of bad luck along the way. I found this to be a very enjoyable humorous look at the Holidays. It’s different, is really funny, but has a lot of heart and Christmas spirit like it should. This is also one of the new Hallmark films that they put out on DVD this year, the same time as it was shown on TV, so that if you really like it, you can buy it. This one, along with “Northpole” are among those new TV movies that would be nice to own. I have even seen copies for sale in places like Costco this year. That’s nice that they do that, as usually you have to wait at least a year for it to be released, and sometimes it never is. I think this is one of the more enjoyable new films this year and one you should try to catch if, like me, you’re a fan of Christmas fare on the TV.
