Two best friends from childhood start crashing holiday parties with stolen invitations from their 2-bit print job, in the process they continually make up personas...including the most ridiculous jobs. One of the two is just a drifter and the other is a law school graduate who had a panic attack when she tried to take the bar exam. Eventually the two get caught up in their lies when Toni, who is believed to be an Ivy League lawyer, gets roped into consulting on a job for Justin to cover for a former law graduate when she goes into labor.
Lots of coincidences in this film...like that Toni and Justin meet at several parties, like Justin's employee being one of Toni's classmates, like Bri meeting and hitting it off with a rich billionaire, like To i's dad being involved in a court case with the same car company that Justin is thinking of acquiring. I think their were a few too many coincidences, but it did make for an entertaining story. The one big downside was the glorification of lying. It was like watching bad people do bad things, which was just sad.
I really like Chris McNally, who played Justin and this performance was no exception (although...I am not sure I liked the long-ish hair). Overall it's an entertaining holiday hallmark film, but I wish it had more of a cautionary tale about lying, this seems more to be a road map of how to lie your way to success and romance.
