I really enjoy Christmas tales and even enjoy some of them when they get a bit gloopy but in my opinion through the entire movie I failed to be moved in any sympathetic way whatsoever towards the Montgomery parents (Kristy Swanson and Chris Potter) and thought that her character was blubby to say the least when she should have taken hold of the situation just as a mum for the sake of the kids and he came over as a guy that was selfish to the extreme and showed his children no emotion whatsoever. Then the Tucker family turned up at the door to the cottage with their entourage of kids and they were allowed entry as total strangers through the door with no questions asked as to who they were or what they were doing. It got better when pa Montgomery went out to the car in the middle of a raging storm and got hit by a tree. I thought he'd gone to the car to try and charge his cell phone but it turned out to be otherwise. I'm not going to put any spoilers in as seeing this movie is beyond belief to the extreme and you have to watch it for yourselves but I suspect that the ending was thrown in as an afterthought to cut it all off abruptly and stop any further money being spent on filming. I could go on for ages because I really enjoy movies of all genres but this was dross even for a TV Movie and bore no relationship to real life behaviour in my life experience

I have to say that I really couldn't make a lot out of the storyline if there was one - it seemed a bit like let's make it all up as we go along type of movie poorly produced and directed - I really like Haylie Duff and as an actress I think that she stood head and shoulders above the other clowns - what the heck was the storyline - It had me beat and I love movies and watch them a lot of the time - Haylie steer clear from this nonsense - you are a very good actress IMHO and you deserve better roles than this - what was the bad guy all about - I like the thriller/horror genre but hey it just didn't seem to make a blind bit of sense - Haylie if you read this I'm really suggesting that you stay away from this type of stuff and work in the areas of character that you are very good at - romance and heart rending stuff are your forte as far as I have seen and you do it very well - or if you do horror/thriller stuff get a good script and a good production team - just my thoughts - I don't wish to be controversial or unpleasant

I found this movie great fun and well worth watching even though my French language skills are a bit rusty it still was a great parody of the Robin hood tale and very funny. I liked the Sherwood New Town sign towards the end although I'm afraid that there is no longer a sherwood forest per se and I think that "Robin des bois" is a part of mythology - well worth watching though and even if your first language is English it doesn't really matter as it's just a great visual fun romp along the same sort of lines as the old "Carry On" movies. I thought that Gerard Darmon played a particularly "Wicked" sheriff of Nottingham and Max Boubil was a pretty good Robin although I think that he could have been a bit crazier in places just to add to the farce
