Having grown up with two very competitive brothers, an attractive woman in New York by the name of "Nina Chestnut" (Meagan Holder) is too embarrassed to tell either of them that she has quit her job as a lawyer and now works as a cook for an extremely wealthy family instead. And while neither of her siblings are the wiser at first, things become complicated when her oldest brother "Kyle Chestnut" (Jaime M. Callica) announces that, because his home is currently being renovated, he cannot host their annual Christmas gathering there. And since the youngest brother "Jayson Chestnut" (Klarc Jerome Wilson) is currently looking for a new place, it therefore falls upon Nina to host the event. To that effect, since the family she cooks for has gone away for the holidays and won't be returning until another week, she reluctantly agrees to host the annual family event. Unfortunately, it doesn't end there, as she also told them that she was engaged--which is equally untrue. So, to continue her ruse, she convinces her best friend "Malcolm Butler" (Brad James) to temporarily move in with her and pretend to be her fiancé. The problem, however, is that Malcolm is actually engaged to another woman named "Neesa" (JaNae Armogan) who not only dislikes Nina but would be extremely upset if she were to ever find out--and she keeps very close ties to Malcolm at all times. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that, although this film started off well enough, it started going downhill each time more drama was added to the equation. Likewise, the blatant social agenda being pushed at the end didn't help either. Be that as it may, while certainly not the worst Christmas movie I have ever seen, this one just didn't appeal to me and I rated it accordingly. Below average.
