Above Average Most Men over 25 will like this

Wow Here is a "Christmas Romantic Comedy Most Men Will Like". This very surprisingly funny film has a plot that is very similar to "Plane Trains & Automobiles" but minus Steve Martin and the late John Candy. In this film A real-estate developer (Sarah Paulson) embarks on a wild cross-country odyssey to get home in time for her wedding. What works about this film is that it has several laugh out moments. The plot is a little far fetched but so what. What works wonders is the casting. Sarah Paulson as always delivers a top notch performance. Eric Mabius proves his comic chops here. This Lifetime movie is a film that most men over 25 will enjoy, If you want to laugh then see this. This is available on Amazon. It is worth buying.. It will however most likely repeat on Lifetime or Lifetime Movie Network around the Holidays. When it does watch.

Get Me To The Church On Time!

The story is a little but silly and farcical, in fact it's really very farcical, but it works. It's a race to get home in time for her wedding while he is doing what he can to deal with all the planning nightmares and worse still a nightmare mother-in-law.

I can't imagine it ever being written up as a true story, but it is entertaining. Sort of like "Home Alone" meets "Don't Tell The Bride".

Eric Marius is really cute in this one, but Dean Cain just plays himself again.

Not quite a Christmas cracker

In search of some holiday fare, I stumbled across Christmas Wedding on video. I did not expect a challenging tale and Oscar-winning performances. However, I was hoping for a bit of holiday cheer in the run up to this year's December 25th.

Alas it was not to be. Saccharine plot, clichéd characters, and predictable trajectory to the storyline add up to an irritating viewing experience. The festive (if not entirely authentic) scenery saved it from a 1, including a nice white horse decked out with jingle bells who makes an appearance. At least it looked like it was fun for the cast to make which is some consolation for the long-suffering viewer who perseveres to the end.
