Brandy and Heather Graham play old friends reunited in an awful, mercifully short, film that offers zero Christmas cheer
It’s the junkiest time of the year for streamers, churning out cheap Christmas films that are so tinnily made and carelessly written that enduring them requires more seasonal spirit than even Buddy the Elf could even muster.
