Candace Cameron Bure stars in this gem of a Christmas Movie, as estranged twin sisters, Kate Lockhart and Chris Dixon.
Both women are unhappy and frustrated with their own lives, Kate is a
successful executive with a great apartment and no social life and divorced mother
of two Chris is an underappreciate schoolteacher. Though they hadn’t been close
for a number of years, they are each envious of the other's life.
After being tricked into having a pre-Christmas brunch by their father
(Walter Platz) a year after their
mother's death, they talk during the meal and the two voice their belief that
the other has an easier life than the other, but they are unable to convince
the other.
So, an impasse was reached so they do what any identical twins in need
of new outlooks would do: they swap lives until Christmas Day, and by doing so,
each woman discovers the true meaning of her life and gains a deeper
perspective and appreciation for what she already had.”
Tom Kinder (Eion
Bailey) and Greg Turner (Mark Deklin) provide the love interest in this
enjoyable festive romance.
