Movie #3510 ........................."Haul Out the Halloween" (Hallmark)

 Movie #3510 "Haul Out the  Halloween" (Hallmark)  Lacy Chabert and the guy in these series of "Haul Out" films are good in their scenes, when the film stops being a gatling gun of lame jokes --- characters are caricatures, so the only real people are Lacy, the guy and Melissa Peterman (who plays Pamela) -- her part is as big as the others, but she knows how to get it across -- I think the lines are delivered fast because the actors know they are stinkers and would fall flat once they come out of their mouths. It is a try at including Halloween antics --- but they are just presented with bobbing apples and magic tricks --- not as much subject matter as Christmas movies can offer.  I would still encourage them to investigate this holiday and possibly thanksgiving even more in future ones --- and this film had a valid theme:  they learned to work together instead of the constant competing --- and i'm glad of that because watching competition is not all that funny.  I'd give this a 3 and not recommend it.
