Enjoyed the story until fiance found in bed with another man. Definitely not appropriate for a "family" holiday movie. Enough said.

This movie was going along good until you get to the point where Jennifer Grey's intended is caught with another man in bed by her. I tell you this because I think some people might not want their children to see this movie.

I was hoping to have a "keeper" bundle, but 2 out of the 5 Lifetime movies in the "2010 Christmas Bundle" (this movie "Road to Christmas" the worst)had what appeared to be another gay agenda, which made no sense and did not fit in with the plot at all. "Home by Christmas" was the best, "Holiday Switch" was very good, "Comfort and Joy" was also very good, but had a scene with 4 gay guys watching TV which added nothing and made no sense at all, like a bizarre "throw in". I just want my voice heard, family viewing Christmas/anytime movies are still in high demand!

The publicity made this sound much more desirable than it proved to be. I felt the directing was poor because the story did not flow and often seemed contrived. The ending was totally out of place in a family story, (or any other story) for that matter. The ending seemed to be an attempt to justify the homosexual life style.

This story had huge potential. The relationship between the father and daughter was wonderful, the romance totally worked, and the progress the three characters made on their shared journey was believable and sweet. However, this movie ended with disaster! Seriously, if you want to kill an existing relationship and make way for a better one, there are far better ways to move the plot along~ And, the reaction of the leading lady to her devastating betrayal was seriously minimized. Whoever created this story took talent and a good creation and flushed them down the toilet just to be sensationalistic. Please, do not waste your time!

I purchased the movie before any reviews were out. Big mistake! I would have never
bought it if I had known a gay scene was included in what was supposed to have been
a family Christmas movie.
What irked me the most was that it was a pretty decent movie till nearly the end,
when they threw in that shocker. When one of the actors tried to explain the
situation to his young daughter, she made a comment to the effect that she knew all
about that because someone in her 5th grade class came out of the closet, and gee, Dad, it's really no big deal. Really?!?
Normally, when I buy a movie new, I donate it to our local library after I watch it.
Not this time! What a waste of money!

I thought this was going to be a family movie and it was going along pretty good until Jennifer Gray finally reaches her destination with her companions following as though it was no big deal to walk into someones house all the way to the bedroom where she found her fiance' in bed with another man. Give me a break! That's is a plot for a good Family Christmas Story? He could have at least been with another woman as everyone was trying to warn her about when she said her fiance' was Italian. The other woman could have been coming out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her or something along that line. That, at least, small children could get a grasp on what was going on in watching a movie with Mom and Dad. I am still fuming over the movie this morning after watching it last night. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. Sorry!

I was always a Jennifer Grey fan because of "Dirty Dancing" but this movie started out in a fairly cheesy holiday movie way and it seemed pretty good with no cursing or unusual creepy subject matter. But I don't understand why they would put that weird shocker in the end after a really, warm, sappy feel-good story. And I sort of saw this coming when I noticed the outwardly gay assistant staring at her fiance' (Lorenzo) in the beginning of the movie but it kind of took away from the whole heterosexual attraction that she felt with the guy in the truck, definitely was a let down. I wouldn't recommend this movie especially if you have young children. First, her fiance was lying to her about his sexual orientation and then they act like its no big thing that the young daughter saw two men in bed together (even if it was another woman, they could have had the person come out of the bedroom with a robe on, not much better, but would be more tastefully done since it would have alluded to an affair). This truly did a disservice to Jennifer Grey's acting ability.

Very disappointed. Foul language and gay's just don't cut it with me. Especially for a Christmas movie. Hollywood always has to spoil everything.

Very sad to see this dvd. It had very little dressed models at the beginning, and filthy speech, and at the end a gay agenda. Very sad that anyone would recommend this movie for a family. Wish I had never seen it. Not happy about this movie at all.
