Review of The Christmas Train

Why two excellent actors would agree to be in this ridiculously stupid movie I just don't know. Dermott Mulroney and Kimberly Williams-Paisley are better than this. The movie is too "busy" with several boring and unbelievable story lines running together all at once. It's a jumbled up mess of poorly written scrip with nothing good to redeem it. I wanted to turn it off about a quarter of the way in, but kept watching, hoping it would get better. It didn't. Joan Cusack's character was especially annoying, which is ironic, since the movie worked so hard to make her character endearing. I will not be adding this movie to my Hallmark Christmas dvd collection.
