THE PLOT:
Hallie is visiting Santa at the mall for the first time but she has a very strange Christmas wish, her wish for Christmas
if for her divorced parents to get back together if for only Christmas. So her brother cooks up a scheme in order to make
that Christmas wish come true.
ZEDD'S OPINION:
This Christmas take on "THE PARENT TRAP" is just as clever as that classic movie. The story works, the kids do
a great job and Leslie Nielsen does a great job as old Saint Nick. But it is dry at points and somewhat sappy in places,
but I guess a movie like this is suppose to be sappy. 8 STARS
VOLTRON'S OPINION:
I really don't have much for add but for a movie that looks like it was made for ABC FAMILY'S 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS it's pretty
watchable and enjoyable. In fact, I would have to say that I do agree with what Zedd wrote about this movie. 8 STARS as
well.
ON THE POSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):
