christmascookiemonster What an enjoyable film. A young limo driver on Christmas Eve has to drive around an crazy man but things on the surface or not as they seem.This story is very clever and you as a viewer are not board. Its a story that is slightly original but 100% enjoyable.This is one of those films that make you want to call your family..
gehewe This movie is definitely worth watching, once anyways. Andrea Roth has a great presence and really makes it worthwhile. Howard Hesseman is great and lively as one reviewer described as a kind "kook". Remembered Yannick Bisson from Sue Thomas FBI (His mannerisms so remind me of James Elliot from JAG). Absolutely love the boys part- he plays a disappointed kid.Hesseman is actually Roth's biological father and she doesn't know it. He hires her as a chauffeur and distributes 100 dollar bills throughout New York City. This is kind of strange, but Hesseman is so good at it. Yannick is a reporter and gets involved in broadcasting the events.Not sure if the chauffeur thing really worked (the silly uniform anyways). The writers/directors could have done a much better job of revealing the relationship between Roth and Hesseman in a more effective way. It was just kind of thrown out there.
bob-baer I actually agree with everything Beltar said. He didn't mention that Andrea Roth is a real pleasure to look at, but she certainly is. Good story line - a girl loses her parents and husband and is left driving a limo trying to get by raising her young son. An interesting but strange rich man hires her limo on Christmas eve and has her drive him to various ice rinks where he gives out $100 bills to the people there. The news media catches on and starts following him. Some interesting twists follow, but the movie is somewhat predictable.Great cast, well done. It's on Lifetime again this year. Definitely worth watching. I'd watch it again too!
Jeff I'm a sucker for a good Christmas movie; I really wish I'd seen one last night.Even the prospect of an attractive female lead didn't save this movie from becoming increasingly annoying as it progressed. Howard Hessman's character was at first lovably eccentric, but then excessively weird. The token cute little moppet (the son) wasn't so cute. There was little to no chemistry between the two leads - instead of romance, I felt more like they were about to establish a limited liability partnership for tax shelter purposes (after all, she's studying for the CPA exam!). And, the heart-tugging revelations at the end just didn't tug my heart.Move along, people. There's nothing to see here.
