Audience Member If you are sick of regular christmas movies, rent this one. It is very good. One of my best top ten. Its a gem with a poor title. It should be called "The Magician who lost his way in the office and found his magic in the snow." Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Bizarre, insane and heartwarming. Starring Gil Bellows (Tommy in Shawshank Redemption), Indie Queen and Cutie-pie Parker Posey and Kids in the Hall member Kevin McDonald, this Canadian indie family comedy is pretty amusing for an hour half at Christmas time. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Dinner at Fred's was released in 1999, and stars Gil Bellows and Parker Posey. Bellows plays a business man who runs into car troubles on Christmas Eve. He seems to be in the middle of nowhere and is missing his wallet. He meets Fred who offers him a place to stay at his house about 20 minutes away from the town where he is stranded. Bellows ends up staying longer than expected as there seems to be a curse on the house, which anyone who stays past midnight can never leave. This is a good comedy. I really enjoyed it.
