Fir Crazy

Chuck's sister from "Chuck," Sarah Lancaster, loses her cushy marketing job and has to sell her family's Christmas Trees while the shop owner next door tries to shut her down. Like always, some town in Canada is the stand in for New York City, but at least they had the good sense to bumper scenes with b-rolls of Manhattan, although I could have done without the best friend's shameful attempt at a Brooklyn accent, which I can't tell if it's supposed to remind us we're in NYC or that the leading lady has a jewish friend. Who's Line Is It Anyway?'s Colin Mochrie makes a surprisingly effect straight foil as the Scrooge-like antagonist and there's a few solid laughs. Of course there's a romantic subplot but who the hell cares. Sarah Lancaster and Christmas trees, you can't go wrong. An MSG fav.
