A Gift to Remember

Amnesia is not an uncommon plot point in Christmas Cheddar: last year there was the MSG Approved "A Christmas To Remember" (note the nearly identical name) with Mira Sorvino and this year's Not MSG Approved and as I pointed out, morally questionable "Second Chance Christmas." In this one our leading lady actually causes the problem when she runs over a random stranger with her bicycle. Hilarity doesn't ensue, it's more of mystery as they try to piece together his identity. Weird thing is he doesn't seem to mind that this girl nearly killed him or that he doesn't know who the fuck he is. He grins and smirks thought the whole movie, amid the clues and revelations. It's really creepy; if this was Lifetime and January though November the guy would probably turn out to be a serial killer. There's a Christmas Eve book store event and some holiday decorations but the Christmas factor's too low to overcome a leading man whom you can't decide whether to punch in the face or run for your life from. Not MSG Approved.
