The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Busy marketing executive and single mom Brooke Burns (the first girl Jack Black sees after the change in Shallow Hal) finds her life even more complicated when her uncle (Henry Winkler) brings home a friendly young man (some guy I've never seen before or since) he meets stranded at the airport. Fortunately the guy's a kind hearted chef filled Christmas spirit and not a serial killer, and once her protests die down, he's decorating the house, bonding with her kid and saving dinner. She's already dating a captain business type, but course he's a typical romcom douchebag and uncle Fonzie is all too happy to nudge her in the right direction. Predictable fare do doubt, but Burns is a bright lead and Winkler's support is funny and engaging. Nausea factor moderate. Christmas factor moderate. And I'm a sucker for a good obnoxious toy story owner beat down. Nothing like multiple felonies all in the name of getting Timmy that bike he'll be bored with in two months. MSG approved.
