Holiday in Handcuffs

Hey Everyone!!!! Thanksgiving is tomorrow yay!! I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed day tomorrow.

 I wanted to write about one of my favorite Christmas movies, Christmas is my favorite holiday, I love all the joy, and happiness, and laughter and all the Christmas Carols and movies. 

 Today I am writing about Holiday in handcuffs starring Melissa Joan Hart and Mario Lopez.

The movie starts off with a woman named Trudie she is a waitress in a restaurant, and she wants to please her parents and make them happy she has a very important job interview unfortunately she ends up missing her interview because she goes through a few mishaps the morning of her interview.

You will see that when you watch the movie, she’s supposed to be going to Christmas dinner with her new boyfriend Nick who she was going to take home to meet her parents and family.

Her boyfriend Nick comes by the restaurant and tells her that he is breaking up with her, and that news makes her stressed because now she doesn’t have anyone to bring home to her family Christmas dinner.

She decides to kidnap a random stranger named David  that walks into her restaurant and wants to have a meal he was planning to propose to his girlfriend.

 Trudie tells him that she is going home with her for the holidays and will pretend to be her boyfriend Nick  to make her family happy, her family is vacationing a log cabin away from  everyone else.

 David isn’t able to call anyone because there is bad cell service where they are staying and Trudy is the phone keeper she has all the phones of her family, anyone that wants to use a phone has to go through her.

Her brother has a phone that she doesn’t know about and David asks him if he can please use his phone, her brother says ok he sneaks in the bathroom and calls his girlfriend he turns the water on in the sink so no one can hear his conversation.

Trudie hears him talking to someone she hears him through the door, she asks him who he was talking to and he tells her no one and that he couldn’t get any service, he tells her that he is going to be the best fake boyfriend ever and that her family will love him, at first before he comes in the house.

 Trudie tells her family what David  is going to tell them about her kidnapping him and she tells them not to believe him and that he is just making up a funny story, so then David  comes in and tells what Trudy did to him and they don’t believe him and say their Trudy wouldn’t do that.

David decides to go through with Trudie’s plan and knows she will eventually get found out, as the movie goes on David sees how much Trudie wants to please her family and make them proud and happy, and she wants her family to be proud of her and love her for who she is and what she has done in her life. 

And as the movie goes on you will see that David and Trudie are starting to get feelings for one another as they get to know each other more and become friends.

 David knows the police will come to his rescue eventually he spends time with her family until they do, he sees how much pressure there is in her family and knows why now she decided to kidnap him they are having a nice family dinner it comes to an abrupt end the brother tells his family a secret that he’s been holding for awhile, and her sister Katie tells her secret and the family is just sitting in amazement and then that’s when the police come and reveal Trudies secret.

They tell her family David isn’t her real boyfriend, before he was kidnapped he had a successful job and a rich pretty girlfriend, the time that David spent with Trudie and her family his life turned into something he did not intend , the family is released from jail David decided to not press charges , Trudy doesn’t hear from David or talks to him in a few months she learns he will be engaged.

 I can assure you it has a happy ending for everyone, you will see what  happens with David and Trudie when you watch the movie.

 I decided to write about this movie because it is a wonderful story and it has a good and happy Christmas theme and you can feel the love of Christmas inside and out. Christmas brings out the little girl in me, the girl that loves all the Christmas lights and all the family, and the songs, celebrating the birth of Christ. And the presents . 

I think it’s a good thing to let the little kid inside of you out once in a while ,  it’s a fun experience and good time. My favorite scene from the movie is when David tells Trudies family tells what she did and no one believes him and just starts laughing it’s a funny scene.

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good movie and have a good time and laugh 🤣
