Merry In-Laws

I hadn't seen this one before but when I saw it had two Cheers stars back together I knew I had to give it a watch. I'm glad I did as it was a lot of fun.

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.

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.

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

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.
