Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

A Holiday to Remember (1995)

A holiday movie to forget. Some reviews just write themselves.

OK, OK -- if you need more: Connie Selleca gets a divorce and goes back "home" to hicksville with her less-than-enthused daughter and runs into her hometown sweetheart (Randy Travis -- accomplishing the feat of delivering every single syllable in the same exact tone. Amazing), his feisty pie-baking aunt (Rue McClanahan), and a kid who ran away (I'm guessing from acting camp before he completed even one lesson) living in her basement.

Will Connie and Randy rekindle old flames? Will the runaway find a home? Will the daughter get enthused? Do you really need to watch this to figure out the answers?
