Two spoiled brats try getting their parents back together a year after after divorce, in this wholly intolerable and unnecessary holiday concoction.
These obnoxious rich kids are so hateful and mean to their Mum's new boyfriend, that I found myself strongly rooting for him. Was I the only one who felt this way? I certainly hope not.
Not after the scene where they lock him in an ice cream truck for hours while taunting him as it drives off, anyway. Who approves this sadistic stuff and thinks it paints the poor chap as 'the bad guy'? No-one I have much in common with, that's for sure.
Then we're meant to cheer later as he's told to 'get out' by the mother for 'demanding the kids show him some respect'? Sounds like the bare minimum punishment, to me.
I'd be recommending military boot camp for the teenage boy and six month's grounding for the little girl myself, but what do I know?
In the end, I'm glad their parents did reunite, as they're as boring and bland as their children are annoying. They all deserve each other, all living as one awful unit in a perpetual state of dislikability.
Is that an actual word? If not, then it should be. And we can credit this movie with it's invention. Well done, movie. WEll done, indeed. 3/10.
