Holiday in Handcuffs

Romantic Christmas comedy fun for the whole family
I have liked Melissa Joan Hart since her days on Clarissa Explains It All so I was pleased to see she was back on TV again. This movie takes place at Christmas time and is basically a story about a woman who sees herself as a failure through her family's eyes and is hoping that bringing home her successful boyfriend for Christmas will prove she finally got something right, until he dumps her Christmas Eve and leaves her hanging.

She sees a very handsome man at the diner where she is working and tells her mom everything is hunky dory and kidnaps the handsome guy and takes him hostage (hence the handcuffs). From here the plot unravels in the typical romantic comedy faire where he is trying to convince everyone he's been kidnapped and she says it's a kind of joke he likes to play and we all get our happy ending. As I have said, it is the typically romantic comedy plot but there are some very funny moments and I can definitely see myself watching this movie again. If you like...

Quirky, Twisted, Off-the-Wall, Screwball Christmas Comedy
I love this film! It is quirky, a bit twisted, and definitely not your typical Christmas movie. Although produced by ABC Family Channel, it is NOT a film for children under 14, as there are many adult references as well as language. It's a lot of fun, very funny and enjoyable. I've watched it over and over and haven't tired of it yet!

Holiday In Handcuffs
Oh i just love this movie. It is truely a wonderful holiday movie. Mario Lopez&Melissa Joan Hart are wonderful in this movie. I love when she steals him away from the diner. She has to take him to meet her parents because she does'nt want her family to think she has failed at another realationship. It has alot of holiday laughter that the whole family will love. This is truely an awesome movie to add to your holiday collection.
