Some Accidents Are Meant to Happen
Fifteen years of marriage is enough for attractive designer Cynthia Gibb and eyebrow-plucked attorney David Millbern (as Vicky and Jason Wright). The couple is headed for divorce. Their children, way too mature-looking Cassidy Freeman (as Melissa) and younger "Tiger" Austin Majors (as Will), do not approve of the separation. When informed of divided Christmas plans, the kids conspire to bring the parents together at their California beach house. Complicating matters are Ms. Gibb's blond boss Jason Connery (as Myles) and Mr. Millbern's blonde secretary Cassidy Freed (as Kristine). With assist from his family and regulars, director Fred Olen Ray rolls these off the production line. "An Accidental Christmas" might have benefited from some tweaking at the TV Movie factory, or not... Best performance and scene is the guy sitting next to Gibb at karate practice. *** An Accidental Christmas (9/9/07) Fred Olen Ray ~ Cynthia Gibb, David Millbern, Jason Connery, Austin Majors
Ho-Hum movie
I looked forward to watching An Accidental Christmas because one of my favorite stars (Cynthia Gibb) was featured in it. (Funny that she's not even listed on the credits here?) ... Needless to say, it was Oh-So-Predictable from the very start. I went ahead and watched it anyway. I was neither engaged nor empathetic with any of the characters but something else kept gnawing at me which I couldn't pinpoint until 1/2 way through the movie. Millbern's tweezed eyebrows gave me the impression that he's gay. Perhaps he is or not, (it doesn't matter) - However, given the film's subject and his role as the husband, I couldn't get this perception out of my mind. Though his acting is 'ok', I felt the role was wrong for him. Scenes involving romantic interludes were not believable at all. This (tiny) observation bugged the heck out of me and kept me from enjoying the movie. Two Thumbs Down for miscasting and predictability.
typical parents split kids rebel storyline
I found this movie to be pretty inane. There are better Christmas shows to watch. I found it VERY distracting to see the men especially since it seemed they wore far too much make-up. It detracted from the plot as far as I am concerned. Very predictable and boring. I think there should have been better character development, more natural acting and stronger scenes. The acting seemed really forced. I was done watching after about the first half hour but stuck it out until the end. I also feel a lot of the plot line ended up being very stereotypical. At times the plot was lost in a lot of useless dialog that did not further the plot. There was no Christmas spirit, no sense of magic watching the show and nothing to catch one's attention. Shallow characterizations combined with the bad makeup and overacting was distracting.Even a made for TV movie usually delivers much more than this.I will not be watching it again.
Terrible Writing
This is seriously one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Yes, the sentiment is sweet and the actors are potentially good, but the writing was so awful that it was embarrassing and awkward just to watch. I feel that there are so many screenplays out there and ideas that could be turned into something great, but the fact that this one got picked up in this package is a sad testament to the state of TV-movies in general. It was not worth the money and time spent in developing and producing it. Would it really have been so difficult to amend the script? If they had taken a little more time to fix the plot and the script up a bit, then it could have been much much better. Actors, regardless of talent, can only do so much with a piece of writing. It's their script! It's what they go on. This movie did not serve the actors justice. Also, the teenage daughter, if they were married for 15 years, that would mean she's 14 at the oldest -- WAY too much cleavage and make-up for some one that age. Too much cleavage in general.
Bland & Boring
This film was a huge bore. It started off okay but it went south quickly. I love Cynthia Gibb. I have been a huge fan of hers since "Fame". This film however is not her friend. The lighting was harsh on her. She makes the most out of what is there but the child stars in this steel every scene away from their adult counterparts! The script is a rip-off of "The Parent Trap" but it was written by people who don't know how to write and directed by someone who can't stage a scene! Now this film is so bad that I had to sit through it to see how desperate the film makers were going to end it. Trust me this film is bad but I highly recommend you buying it because it will put you to sleep faster then an episode of Arliss
