Mini Movie Review : Holiday in Handcuffs (2007)

 


Trudie Chandler (Melissa Joan Hart) has one passion in life - art, but right now she's a waitress at Taj's Diner Deluxe.

When her boyfriend dumps her two days before Christmas, she just can't face what her over-bearing mother who is expecting to meet her future son-in-law will say. In her desperation, Trudie kidnaps the gorgeous David (Mario Lopez,) a customer in the diner.

Although he spends most of the next day trying to escape from her, he beings to sympathize with her – her parents are both critical of her life and her passion for art and want her to get a real career.

Melissa Joan Hart is adorable as the hapless and hopeless Trudie, and Mario Lopez is excellent as kidnap victim, David. Markie Post and Timothy Bottoms are wonderfully infuriating as Trudie's unreasonable parents.

Great performances all round. Holiday in Handcuffs is a really cute movie, funny, poignant in places, and is suitable for all the family.
