Thanks for the memories!

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Andrea Roth was cute as the Ghost of Christmas Present in Chasing Christmas. She is just as cute here, but has a very different role. Seems she is trying to raise her young son and barely scraping by as her cheating husband ran off with his dental hygienist. Isn't that always the story? But, don't worry, as cute as Roth is, I am sure that Santa will send some cute young man to fill her stocking.The story here is about Howard Hesseman. I remembered him from Police Academy 2, but where I really remember him is "WKRP in Cincinnati." It's been a long time, Howard. He plays a crazy old gazillionaire that is giving away all his money. Hundred dollar bills to everyone, sometimes a handful; of them. Spreading that Christmas cheer around. But he has a secret or two, and one of them involves Roth.It is a sweet and tender story about family and giving and what is really important in life.Check it out.

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!

This is a cute, mostly lighthearted Christmas movie that premiered on Lifetime last night.Andrea Roth stars as Shannon, a chauffeur and single mother, who has to leave her son with a babysitter on Christmas Eve, because she has to drive an older rich man around in a limo. Fred, the rich man (played by Howard Hesseman), is an eccentric who gives away money (literally throwing dollars in the air) wherever he goes. As the movie proceeds, conflict ensues after a reporter (played by Yannick Bisson) interviews Fred and we learn a secret he has kept for a long time.I enjoyed this movie on the whole. It reminds me of so many other made-for-TV Christmas movies out there. It is a tale of forgiveness around the holidays, and also sort of a love story. I recommend it (if you like made-for-TV Christmas movies).

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.
