The Perfect Holiday

Synopsis:Nancy is a divorced mother of three who is so busy raising her children that she’s forgotten to take care of herself as well. With Christmas fast approaching, she decides to take her kids to the mall to meet Santa Claus, not knowing that her youngest daughter Emily has sensed her mother’s sadness and is determined to use her time with Santa to make her mom happy again. Just a few days prior, Emily heard her mom say that all she wanted for Christmas was a compliment from a man, so that’s exactly what she tells Santa. Ironically, Santa, as it turns out, is office supply salesman and struggling songwriter Benjamin, who ends up giving Nancy just what she wants for Christmas, and much, much more.

Cast: Gabrielle Union, Morris Chestnut, Queen Latifah, Terrence Howard, Charlie Murphy

Recommendations: The cheezy family movie recommendation was already taken. Sorry.

Beer for My Horses

Synopsis:Two buddies, Rack and Lonnie, have quietly been pursuing justice as deputies in a small Southern town. But when Rack’s irresistible girlfriend is kidnapped by a particularly nasty drug lord as revenge for the arrest of his brother Tito, the duo decide to defy their boss, Sheriff Landry, and chase them down… by any means necessary. Rounding up the town’s most off-beat lawman–Skunk Tarver, a defiantly silent man who chooses to use a bow n’ arrow instead of a gun–they take off on a rip-roaring road trip with all the makings of a rollicking comic joyride that’s not afraid to go over the top.

Cast: Toby Keith, Ted Nugent, Kris Kristofferson, Barry Corbin, Greg Serano

Recommendations:Toby Keith and Ted Nugent….Hell No.
