There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

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

Just finished watching this Lifetime Movie again. (No, there was nothing else on TV!) Whoever did the casting for this TV movie must have been on a limited budget! The casting of Actor David Millbern as a 'straight' man/husband is far-fetched! His perfectly tweezed eyebrows were distracting, and it appeared he did not even attempt to "act" straight for the role. His mannerisms were more feminine than his wife's! I'm not a gay basher, far from it! I just don't know why he was chosen to play a straight role. Yes, a good actor can pull it off, but in this case it was a fail. (We're often "shocked" when an actor comes out -- that's because they are so good at acting and doing their job!) The kissing scene was so awkward; very much like seeing Jody Foster kissing Richard Gere ... just didn't work. Anyway if the story had been written better perhaps all of the 'fluff' would not have been so noticeable. The daughter, too, by the way, clearly must have been at least 20! She definitely did not pull off being a 14 year old! Too much makeup and cleavage for a 14 year old! But again, if the story would have been more interesting and better written, I may have never noticed all the things wrong with the characters! If you're looking for a nice Holiday movie to watch, or there's nothing else on TV, rent something or go to bed! Don't settle for something on TV as I just did.

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.

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.
