Cringe wortthy
The story might have possibilities but the acting isn't just bad. It's horrible. The dialogue is equally bad, and sickeningly cheesy. The witness protection angle makes this a bit different for a Christmas movie.
The acting is universally bad including the main characters. Even the story goes off the rails as the marshal makes bonehead mistakes in security. And more stupidity with the mayor constantly fawning over Derrick and while Jessie watches. Much of the comedy is based on sexual inuendo and visual inanities.
I will say the climax was surprising but totally stupid. There is even a clumsy religious message about the meaning of Christmas.
I usually don't like to use words like "worst" especially linked to "ever", but this movie really ranks among the worst Christmas movies I've watched.
