Thank you ABC Family for continuing to attempt to make new holiday movies every year to enjoy the holiday season.
The Story:
A waitress (Melissa Joan Hart) is getting ready to head to her family's house for Christmas with her boyfriend when he dumps her. Outraged, despondent and desperate, she does the only logical thing she can think of: She kidnaps the first guy she sees sitting in the restaurant (Mario Lopez). She needs him to pretend to be her fiance' for the weekend.
And you can connect the dots of where it goes from there.
And you would be correct.
That said, you should still have a decent time watching the film. It's silly and fluffy, but just the sort of romantic holiday comedy that the whole family can gather around and enjoy. A nice change of pace from the Christmas Classics.
Melissa Joan Hart is spunky enough as the lead. Growing up from her Sabrina TV roots, though I have to admit this is the first of two movies with a similar premise, so I have now officially categorized as the actress most likely to star in a movie about fake romances that turn real. : )
Then, we catch up with A.C. Slater (Mario Lopez!) A decade plus removed from Bayside, he still is the youthful charmer that all the girls swooned over in the Saved by the Bell tapings. Look at the picture...aside from the hair, the dude hasn't changed a bit.
If you haven't seen it, you should be able to catch it on ABC Family during the 25 Days of Christmas, or it is also streaming as of this writing on Netflix.
Tomorrow, we'll see what Zack Morris has been up to!
