Switched for Christmas

It's December so of course it's time for the Mother of the Countdown To Christmas Holy Trinity, Candace Cameron Buré. Here she plays twins who switch places: one a suburban schoolteacher and the other a city exec. They're both planning Christmas celebrations so the Christmas factor is moderate, and there's a breezy, casual atmosphere courtesy of director Lee Friedlander, probably the only Christmas Cheddar director who deserves credit for actually directing a movie (she helmed the MSG Fav A Gift Wrapped Christmas). A movie about planning a holiday party and Christmas fair should be more steeped in December imagery, but the nausea factor doesn't rise over moderate, and while the small town seems to be favored, the big city is not entirely dismissed. Not sure if I'd watch it again but after the crappy ones I tried to watch yesterday I'm feeling generous. MSG approved.
