#1 Cheap Holiday in Handcuffs Reviews

First and foremost, yes, the plot is silly and unbelievable. What did you expect? One of the negative reviewers complained that the characters made choices "for which there is no believable consequence". So? Movies are not supposed to be an accurate portrayal of reality; they're meant to be an escape from reality, a fantasy. If you want reality, then go watch a documentary.
Second, this is not a family-friendly movie. I have to agree with the other reviewers that there is definitely too much sexual banter to be appropriate for viewing by children. Yes, it's only talk, but it's still not stuff I would be saying around children.
Third, the marketing department should have come up with better cover art. The fact that the scene depicted is not in the movie is forgivable. The fact that the image of Melissa Joan Hart looks nothing like she does in reality is not forgivable.
Lastly, if you're so bigoted, small-minded, and insecure that the mere mention of someone being a homosexual (mentioned in only two scenes) ruins the movie experience for you, then yes, look elsewhere. Those people who actually watch and understand the movie will know why it was included.
Having said all that, this really is a good movie. Yes, it's unbelievable. Yes, it does start off slow. And yes, the family arguing is reminiscent of reality, but it's necessary for the storyline. The characters themselves are believable and the acting is superb. Melissa Joan Hart gives a top-notch performance ensuring that you can't help but fall in love with her character.
With regard to Christmas, this movie misses the mark because it really has very little to do with Christmas. With that said, it is a good movie, and I'll definitely be watching it again.
