This afternoon CBS reran this 2002 tele-film starring Jason Alexander, why CBS and NBC decided to put on Christmas films on Turkey Day boggles the mind, but air them they did.
This was the first time I had seen this film, probably the last time too since it was so sappy. Jason was good, Kelly Rowen as Jason wife brought back memories of George's dates on Seinfeld, and the production design wasn't bad, for a network film, HBO would have made this a real winner, but there's no real meat to the project and the biggest problem I have with the film is that they give away the ending in the title!
Where's the suspense if we know he's going to save Christmas? And the dilemma doesn't even arise until the last half hour or so of the film. Bah!
