Just caught this on tv and I had to say some words on it. My new holiday movie obsession continuing from last year is Holiday in Handcuffs, an ABC Family Original Movie no less! Out of all the multiple and terrible movies they produce, this is definitely one of their best. Yes, it isn’t the best acting. Yes, the storyline is choppy with quick and unreasonable solutions to the characters’ problems. Yes, the plot is completely unrealistic. And yes, it’s pretty damn predictable. However, It’s definitely a feel-good movie and it actually makes me laugh. Melissa Joan Hart brings most of the charm to the movie, with her quirky facial expressions and comedic timing. Never destined to be a star actress, she still brings comfort being on the tv screen. Having grown up watching “Clarissa Explains It All” and “Sabrina the Teenage Witch”, she oddly feels like a good friend or maybe even a distant relative. She makes me feel good and I like that. June Lockhart is humorous as the grandma, and Mario Lopez is… well, Mario is… he’s still himself. Not much has changed since “Save By the Bell” besides bigger muscles; he even still has the same voice. It’s fun to count how many times his voice hits that puberty-induced adolescent high pitch sound when he talks. I have to admit though, I totally wouldn’t mind being handcuffed for the holidays if it was with him, especially if he’s shirtless. Or naked. Completely horny, too. Mmmmmmmmmmmm. Kidding, but not really. Side note, they did manage to get him a shirtless scene in the movie. Now only if that was surprising.
