Christmas in July 2020 Movie #5 

The greatest part of this Christmas movie is when the villainess pops outta nowhere from behind a Christmas tree ready to wreck house. I had to laugh over the absurdity and cheesiness of that scene. Eric Roberts, like I don’t know if he knows where he is, but he’s sure having something and doesn’t care what we think. 

So Vivica A. Fox and Ricco Ross get fake married so she can get a promotion at work and a new condo, and he can get a green card. He’s got a girlfriend, she has commitment issues, and the film has laughable CGI. I know this movie didn’t cost much, but they are driving around in a car and it looks like they cut and paste the outside on the car windows. They had a white outline around the actors. I can’t. As with all Vivica A. Fox produced TV movies we get the usual group of actors farting around. Making a cameo appearance is Jackée Harry. Why put her in something and not let her shine? I love me some Jackée Harry.

No way is this movie good, but damn did I laugh at some of the stupid stuff that was going on. I couldn’t help but enjoy what I was watching for the most part. It was fun, and stupid, and fluffy, and the fakest Christmas TV movie ever. 

My Rating: ⭐⭐½ 

Where to Watch: Amazon Prime Video / Pluto TV
