      Ash P For a movie that has a title that makes yall think that it's a porno, it's honestly one of those movies that is indeed insane but you'd definitely have a good time that you'll be glued to the TV. Some jokes were good, the writing was iffy, the way the whole story led to from kidnapping to the kidnapped starting to get themselves attached to the kidnapper in a non-horror fashion even on Christmas was not that bad. Not the perfect movie but I guess this would at least be a guilty pleasure kind of Christmas movie. Say if it was a little more horror realistic, it could be better, but I am not complaining at all since I had some good laughs and enjoyed this for being a Christmas romcom and not as generic as most could lead to along with old fashioned Hallmark movies. 6/10. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/30/23 Full Review Caleb D Fun Christmas movie that I've been watching since I was young. It's a light hearted rom com and if you take the movie as it is you will enjoy it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/13/23 Full Review Audience Member My favorite Christmas movie! I watch it every year. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/22/22 Full Review corkball The leads aren't awful here... they have a modicum of quirky charm, but seriously, WTF? Oh you'll get over me holding you at gunpoint, won't you? Then we can get fefes for each other???? I understand rom coms have to one up each other with their intro premise, but this is beyond ridiculous. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Cyrus K Awful acting, a disturbed story, unlikable characters, an awkward tone, and just a level of insanity that makes this one of the most bonkers movies of all time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/10/22 Full Review Audience Member If the lead roles were reversed and Mario Lopez kidnapped Melissa Joan Heart, it would be an episode of forensic files. She kidnaps him at gunpoint, forces him into the middle of nowhere, makes him dress in weird clothes, gaslight her family and the only store in driving distance into believing he's a crazy person. This is a groundbreaking Stephen King horror with quirky stock music. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
