Synopsis
It is 6 p.m., and the Douglas family is busily preparing to be invaded by their quirky relatives for their annual Christmas Eve dinner.
After robbing a neighborhood liquor store, high-strung and irritable Tony and his dim-witted side-kick Vinny find themselves in need of a place to briefly hide out. Using a ruse to gain entrance into the Douglas home, they suddenly find themselves in charge of an ever-growing list of family members that they are forced to hold hostage. From smart-aleck teenagers to nosy neighbors and bickering adults, the laughs (like the flow of people) are nonstop, and we soon wonder, who is holding who hostage?
With outrageous characters, laugh-a-minute-dialogue and a surprise, heartfelt ending, Mr. Franco has created a comic treasure that is sure to leave the audience in stitches while celebrating the true meaning of Christmas.
