So, he's nice five times in the movie. It's so not enough. And the end of the mystery was kind of deflating.
I thought the first one was so over-the-top that it was hilarious. I'm also looking forward to the Biltmore movie tomorrow. 
Welcome those who waited until after Thanksgiving is over to start watching the Christmas movies. 
Feel free to add yours!
I like reading what you guys think of the movies. For me, it helps move some movies up the watch list over others, and moves some down or off the list.
