A Christmas Detour

Year: 2015

Duration: 85 min

Rich gentleman Jack Collins is a perfect catch, except perhaps for his stuffed-up parents Neil and especially Susan, who insist to meet his reporter fiance Paige Summerlind before the nuptials at their traditional New England estate Christmas dinner. Alas, her plane is stuck in a storm, so she must share a rental car with charming, resourceful charmer Dylan Smith, single since his heart was broken, and Frank and Maxine Harper, a bickering couple wondering what keeps their listless marriage together. As the car breaks down, they must spend the night in the last two rooms (boys/ girls) of Rudy's motel in a rural small town where Christmas is the general obsession. It provides the couple opportunity to grow together again and Dylan to make Susan doubt her obsession to 'marry well' as if preordained, yet she stubbornly runs off alone after a misunderstanding.—KGF Vissers
