Christmas Cupid
Okay. So you think you might have the flu. You've crashed on the couch with blankets and extra pillows. You feel a headache beginning and you ache all over. You're waiting for the ibuprofen to kick in.
Oh, look! It's Christmas Cupid!
It's a bland Hollywood current day re-butchering of "A Christmas Carol". Supposedly an ABC Family production, it features the word "bitchitude" which I kind of like but I wouldn't want my four year old seeing it, a young woman in her undies changing clothes in her car while driving down a main drag, and two boyfriends I could tell apart. One is Bad Andrew, who is lean, tall, and has reddish brown hair. The other is Good Patrick, who is lean, tall, and has reddish brown hair. Bad Andrew is a PR executive. Good Patrick is a pediatrician.
One thing that perplexes me is that the Marley-girl is African-American and all of her friends are white, including her sorority sister. No. That just doesn't happen, especially if you're talking about eastern and especially southern colleges. Maybe her wiser sisters have abandoned her and her clueless white friends just can't quite bring themselves to do it. Yet.
Anyway, blandness, blandness, whiteness. I didn't see much evidence of a change of heart, showing how stunningly shallow Hollyweird is these days.
Please. Don't even bother. I have just saved 90 minutes of your life.
