Merry In-Laws

This was cute, funny, and a nice romance. It was interesting to see Lucas Bryant in a more light=hearted role. Lately he has been playing the sullen, strong, silent type. Shelly Long was way over the top in my opinion, but I couldn't help laughing. Also there were a few truly badly behaved, even hateful characters in this one which added some tension to the comedy.

It's just plain good old new fashioned Christmas hokum. Don't start this movie with any preconceived notions. I did--and it wasn't a good idea. Allow the fun of a Christmas fantasy to take you out even just for a little while into a world of real make believe. Don't make of it something that it never intended to be in the first place. BUT, if you are uncertain of your ability to separate reality from fantasity, you probably ought not watch this. But if you can, there will be more than a few moments of amusement--no great belly laffs but a lot of fun nevertheless.

We thought it was a quirky fun Christmas movie missing one thing. Where's the reindeer?

Acting quality: 0/10. The female lead is fairly skilled but each other actor did horrific. Worse acting skills than a school play

Script: 0/10. Extremely cheesy, ruins the generally accepted story of Santa, absolute garbage.

Editing: 0/10. This movie looks like it was edited on iMovie.

The horrible effects, random outbursts of terrible singing, and middle aged, beardless Santa wrap this movie up like into the worst Christmas movie I have ever witnessed. Whoever filmed this movie needs to go back to college because the angles, the ANGLES, are horrible. Anyone with good taste in movies would agree with me.

Nice enough for be moving. first for the eccentric option for George Wendt for Mr. Claus, a bad idea as hypothesis, an admirable result at the end. second - adorable performance of Shelley Long. not the last, the ordinary ingredients for a Christmas movie who, in this case, are more seductive. a film who reminds not exactly the spirit of Christmas but its mark on the family spirit. and this is more than a significant virtue.
