Holiday Crashers

Two best friends, Toni (Lyndsy Fonseca) and Bri (DanielkanMonet) try to add some excitement to their mundane lives by crashing exclusive Holiday parties and assuming false identities. They each meet a guy they are attracted to but things go bad when Justin (Chris McNally) thinks Toni is a lawyer and enlists her help on a potential business deal, but the truth is she had a panic attack and never completed law school. The situation becomes more complicated because Justin's recent breakup involved a lying girlfriend and one thing he hates are liars! There's also a hidden deception with Bri and her flame Vinny (Jag Bal). The lead actors have great chemistry. The movie is entertaining and a bit unique, although it has the usual Hallmark "conflict" as part of the plot. My complaint, as with all Hallmark movies, is that they need to tighten the middle of the script and allow more time for the script to focus on the story conclusion which always feels hurried and rushed and squeezed in to the final 10 minutes. In this movie we want more of the relationship between Toni and Justin instead of the proverbial "a year later" and a lot happened in that time. BUT a nice movie overall.

What a fun, sweet, and heartwarming movie Holiday Crashers is. Very unique for a Hallmark production. The story begins with two women who are friends and who are each at loose ends in their lives. Bri (Daniella Monet) has been working at odd jobs since she was 13 to help support her mother and sister. Toni (Lindsey Fonseca) is a law school graduate who had a panic attack while taking the bar exam and couldn't finish it. While working at a shop that prints party invitations, they decide to attend a holiday party themselves for fun after finding extra invitations. Ever feel like things are going nowhere for you? Along the way, Toni meets a charming business man (Chris McNally) and Bri meets a sweet guy (Jag Bal) who sparks her interest and so the romance begins! As in any good rom- com, conflict ensues, in this case as a result of mistaken identities. In the end though, as with all Hallmark movies, there is a HEA all around.

Holiday Crashers is a delightful movie that has two charming couples with great chemistry, lots of fun moments and dialogue, sparkling photography, angst, and a beautiful ending. A joy to be watched again and again!

Two friends decide to spend the Christmas season crashing other people's corporate Christmas parties, and making up identities.

On the other side of the story, the CEO of an investment company also attends some of the same parties, and the issue of the identity lies starts to crash into each other.

When the female main character hears about the CEO buying an auto firm which may face a class action suit headed by her father, she has to warn the CEO about what he might be getting into.

He winds up hiring her to consult on his legal issue, but doesn't know she ditched the bar exam and isn't a lawyer.

This idea had a LOT of potential, but the writers never closed the deal. They didn't really do any kind of a job building a relationship between the romantic leads, and they lost any element of real comedy regarding the identity lies. Just having the FMC uncomfortable all the time doesn't get there.

As I said, it's watchable, but my wife and I won't rewatch this.

I'm Stumped With All The Bad Reviews- I thoroughly enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. First let me say I thought the casting was perfect LF & CM were oh so good in this, they had chemistry! For all those talking about "the lies" for goodness sake, who hasn't lied.. give me a break. This movie was fun, funny, heartwarming, relatable, likable... I thought the sets were amazing as well. I loved both Daniella Monet & Jag Bal, they were so cute together, I absolutely loved the wedding dance at the end! It was so entertaining and I'm very happy I watched it. Kudos to the leads LF & CM, both so talented and kudos to the entire cast and crew, you handed me two hours of pure entertainment - for that, I say THANK YOU!

This was a disappointment. I really like the lead actors, but the story....lie after lie after lie. These women aren't teenagers! They are full grown and still playing games like children! How could anyone take them seriously? Not to mention beginning relationships with a lie? Never a good beginning to a lasting, healthy relationship no matter what the romantic comedies try to tell us. And because of the deception and childishness of the characters, they are not as endearing as they could have been. I just didn't enjoy this story. The sets were gorgeous; all the actors beautiful....the story was just lame and dumb and some parts downright silly.
