Movie #1812 ........................"Holiday Engagement"

Movie #1812 "Holiday Engagement"  -- in looking at the plot synopsis, I thought I had seen this one already, but when I started watching it, it wasn't as silly or over the top as the precious one ("Holiday in Handcuffs") same premise in other film (and many others), but this one was better --- funny scenes that were more believable and less silly.  And the actors were more competent here --- Beau Bridges's son is the guy, and the girls is very talented.  Shelley Long adds to the film with some serious acting scenes to do here (we know her as the comic in "Cheers" mostly) I'd give this 3.5 because it still was a bit silly like they are all planning a fake wedding  and it gets out of hand!
