A Home for the Holidays

This is not a bad Christmas movie and we enjoyed watching it, but it falls short in being a real Christmas romance movie. I don't get why it was written like the way it was. Could have been a lot better in the way it handled the relationship between Cudmore and Shannon Elizabeth, who were both good. I though Shannon Elizabeth was really good, and she is really all that floats this movie. So, overall it's a decent watch, with a few outstanding scenes. The idea for the story is good, but it's not as well crafted as some of the better ones of this genre. The acquisition of the house, the condemnation procedure, and actual repairs are somewhat unrealistically handled. Minor details can often be overlooked in Christmas movies. But they wrote past these issues too easily. Still, it's worth a watch for Shannon Elizabeth.
