Honestly? Not that bad. Don't get me wrong... it's full of schlock and cliché and as a movie lover I'm supposed to be up in arms, but... it's not that bad. A rip off of Groundhog Day? Yes. Bad? Not really. It's the type of film you end up watching when there's nothing else really on. Plus, as a mother (and Christmas softie) it is actually quite a relief to find a Christmas movie for the family that, frankly, I'm not bored to tears with.
What makes the bad work, I think, is that while it's cliché, it's fast paced enough that you don't get bored with it. Essentially, you don't have time to roll your eyes before they're on to something else.
I have to say though, I find the initial awkwardness of his situation EXTREMELY annoying. Who puts another human being in that situation? "Come to my parents house and meet my new boyfriend..." Come on. That's why I say the latter half, when he's begun to learn his lesson and pull one over on the baddies, is what you should tune in to.
So! Once again, watch it, but watch it half way through.
score 4/10
