Christmas Bounty (aka best Christmas movie since Die Hard) thoughts:
-The Bell family have to be the genetically unlikely family in movie history. Like, the parents are white. And the daughter is quite obviously Hispanic. At no point did this problem apparently come up in the casting process.
-I couldn't tell if everyone was just doing a bad New Jersey accent or were, in fact, parodying bad new Jersey accents. Probably the former.
-It's never a good sign when a wrestler is the best actor in the movie.
-Miz's character has a black leather jacket and dresses in black all the time. This is supposed to make him look like a bad ass but instead he just comes off as an extra from Grease.
-It occured to me half way through they were basically re-making Casablanca here. Only with Bounty Hunters, pro wrestlers and a Christmas theme.
-"Tori, I love you!" "Don't you mean 'loved', past tense?" "I mean, past, present and always." Miz and Francia deserve Emmys solely for saying this dialogue with a straight face.
-Tori's boyfriend James' occupation seems to be that of a shady, ultra-rich 1%er executive who buys struggling companies, closes them down and sells off the assets for profit. Despite this, he's presented as a really, really nice guy.
-At first, Tori didn't think she could put up with Mike's hectic, rebellious lifestyle, but then he says he's taking evening classes and is sorting his life out. Besides James didn't really love her for who she was. So, she gets back with Mike. Awwwwww! (Also, I think she was just worried about sticking with James then getting jail time for being an accomplice in his financial-related crimes somewhere down the line).
-the all-cast dance skit at the end is horrifically bad.
