Movie Review:

The young children in this movie were cute, but that's about all. Charlotte Ross's character, Dana, is widowed, while the man she meets on vacation, Dan, is divorced. His ex shows up and really shakes things up. Dan and Dana's older children sneak out together in the middle of the night and end up sleeping in the same bed. Not a wholesome family movie - by any means. The whole movie was slow and not up-lifting. Frankly, it was rather odd. This mariachi band would show up playing and these men dressed as the three wise men. It didn't, honestly, make any sense. While I have always liked Charlotte Ross as an actress, I must say, I didn't care for this movie, at all.
