The office Christmas party at Frost Advertising is, instead of being a gathering inspiring teamwork and camaraderie, a showcase of varieties of unprofessional workplace behaviour. Not only are employees of both genders ruthlessly scheming to pair off sexually, they are also getting very loaded on punch spiked with hard liquor.
The owner (Whitman) of the company tops it off with his own unprofessional contribution by handing the much sought after promotion of head of the Los Angeles branch to Michael Miller (Laughlin) - his son-in-law from the New York office.
Everyone there who was up for the promotion has the evening and the holiday season which follows to be disillusioned perhaps enough to take their talents elsewhere or suffer in silence.
The new branch manager turns out to be a real creep. In this milieu he fits in rather than setting a new tone needed to create a more professional work environment.
He gets handsy with Ashley (Welch) - the agency art director. She is not well-liked by female colleagues because she has bedded half the eligible guys there. Ashley is way cuter and has more 'game' than them. She is not believed when she complains.
Some movies are so bad they are fun. This is not one of them. It features acting of a quality generally to be seen in a Mexican soap opera. Producers for the direct-to-video market expectorated a lot of flicks like this one.
Tahnee Welch - while she happened to be Racquel Welch's daughter, more strongly resembled Jamaican actress Martine Beswick. She didn't remind audiences of her mother in the least. Tahnee's inability to get out of her mother's shadow had more to do with her lack of acting talent. The performance of Nia Peeples in a supporting role suggests she would have been a better choice than Welch to play the lead.
