Friday Watch Party: Holiday in Handcuffs

we're going to be studying the composition of this poster for decades to come




What could be more merry than watching 90 minutes of Unlawful Restraint charges pile up?  Not to mention assault, etc...

Join us as I get in a trifecta of Saved by the Bell alumni in Christmas movies in this Mario Lopez/ Melissa Joan Hart pair-up.  (See:  Lucky Christmas and Northpole).  

Is it good?  Probably not.  Is it free?  It depends on how you categorize your Amazon Prime membership and viewings.  

Anyway, you'd hope something with handcuffs this much at the center of the film that isn't The Defiant Ones would be kind of fun.  I don't know how any of this set-up will play out in a way that doesn't work a bit like the Saw franchise, but that doesn't seem very Christmassy.  And it's not, like, *fun* handcuffs.  It's an ABC Family original film.  

It's also got Markie Post!  Who doesn't love Markie Post?  No one.  She was great.

But I am sure we can make something out of this.

Day: Friday December 23rd
Time:  8:30 Central, 6:30 Pacific
Service:  Amazon
Price:  I think it's streaming for free with Prime

  1. I look at Mario Lopez laying there in water-absorbent clothing on snow and keep thinking, that man will soon die of hypothermia.

  2. curiously, the threat of hypothermia is all that keeps Lopez in place for the first two acts of the film!
