Holiday in Handcuffs Audience Reviews

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
anilparthasarathi We watch this every December it is very funny! We always just keep laughing!
Matthew McNaughton Now, this is a TV movie, so it's given certain graces like having a limited audience and unsurprising expectations of mediocrity, so I can't belittle it too much. But it's just so thrown together and sloppy. Melissa Joan Hart of "Sabrina" fame starts off with an abysmal perm, and of course she's a struggling artist who waitresses part-time. But then it's all aboard the train to Crazyville. Somehow her parents believe her and not the loony man she brought. The guy (Mario Lopez) then decides that it would be a good idea to make her family fall in love with him. The big reveal is when he fake proposes to her (which he was originally was going to do to his girlfriend when he was kidnapped). I definitely can't say it's that bad; it's just weird five ways to Friday and shouldn't be taken too seriously.
dickjones87 This was a cute TV movie of the week that I discovered to be a lot more fun then I would have ever thought. Melissa Joan Hart's character is a down and out waitress that kidnaps Mario Lopez and takes him home to her family, forcing him to be her boyfriend. I've never seen such a storyline before, and the silliness of it all was made it so great. The actors who played the parents were a lot of fun, even a visible aged Markie Post. Sorry I just keep thinking of her "Night Court" days back in the 80s, and it's harsh to see her so worn out and old looking. The only other bad thing was that Hart wasn't as pretty or hot as she could be, she is not in the same "league" of Mario Lopez so that part of the story was a bit hard to swallow to. But then again, she's the chick and he's the man, so if she's less attractive then audiences are probably more willing to buy it then if it were the other way around. I am a straight guy, but I found myself sitting there thinking how hot Mario Lopez was, and forgetting about the female leads.
gollygopher I thought this was a very cute movie...not really believable but if you're into cheesy, cute Holiday movies that leave you feeling warm and fuzzy, then check this out! Melissa Joan Hart is a very underrated actress, she and Mario Lopez had great chemistry together.It was very entertaining and had many laugh out loud moments.I gave it 8 out of 10 bc some things were missing..like what happened to the Grandma, why Trudy never really talked to her sister, things like that.I would recommend this!
