Really Enjoyable

There must be something wrong with me because I really enjoyed this movie. I'm so happy that there wasn't a "big" tree lighting to go to and they weren't trying to save the town. Quite the opposite - just a good old family Christmas with Monique who steals the show. Great, great casting all around.

Trivia
During the climactic scene, Danny Glover says, "I'm getting too old for this sh*t", which was his character's catchphrase in Lethal Weapon.

Goofs
A Congressional election campaign would not be involved in a local zoning issue. Someone running for a city or county office might be concerned.

Quotes
[Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them]
