I simply cannot say enough bad about this film. To begin with the acting, script, and direction are laughable, miles below the Hallmark Cadillac standard for this sort of holiday dreck. Then, too, we have the story of a passive, easily persuadable young woman who welcomes being controlled by her two possessive suitor brothers as they fight over her and make decisions for her, each one a scary control freak. These dashing "young men" whom she can't seem to resist are both nearly 2 decades older than she is, Joey Lawrence (45) looking and sounding like a grizzled ex-con from Jersey. In fact, the four cast members of the Lawrence family resemble something out of a bad episode of the Sopranos, and they're individually and collectively awful. Worst of all is Donna Lawrence, who plays "Grandma" (but who is actually mother to cast members Joey, Matthew, and Andrew Lawrence), bewigged and bewildered, scarier looking than Norma Bates in the basement. I cannot unsee this monstrosity---it is is the worst thing that I've seen in decades.
