The Christmas Classic follows Elizabeth Bird (Malin Akerman) home for the holidays where she has been sent by her boss to buy the small, rundown local ski resort, Ski Alto. She hopes to close the deal and leave the same day, avoiding her oddball family, but she accidentally bumps into her sister, Lynn Flynn (Amy Smart) and is forced to stay through Christmas. She meets Randy Collins (Ryan Hansen) and is charmed by him and the small town she thought she hated. She finds herself in a dilemma. Should she marry her rich, trust fund, controlling fiancé? Or find something happy and healthier back home, surrounded by love and family?

Maybe someday Akerman and Hansen can find a worthwhile vehicle for their onscreen connection, but this isn't it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jessica M @AIwillhelpmesoundsmart Dec 24 I signed up for RT just to leave this review: instead of discussing the quality of this film, I just want to say that I feel really, really bad that this is what Amy Smart's career came to. Every actor involved was clearly hurting and needed the paycheck. See more Natasha R @NatLee Dec 22 Every individual involved in the production of this never-for-a-moment-funny steaming trash pile should be ashamed of themselves. See more C J @ChrisJ12345 Dec 21 Literally terrible in every possible way. How did she just do Hunter Wives? Should have been unknowns.... See more Zoe B Dec 19 Horrendous script, unlikeable characters, acting not up to par. See more Wayne K @WayneKingard Dec 18 It felt like the entire movie was a build-up for a punchline that never came. Worse than someone telling the "Aristocrat" joke at open mic night. My last dentist visit had more entertainment value than this dud. Amy Smart's performance was only good enough to act as a reminder to watch Just Friends instead, a true Christmas comedy. See more Gigi S @Geeeg Dec 18 So inappropriate for a Christmas movie to have so many penis references. Do not watch with children. See more Read all reviews
