3 out of 5 stars... It's not really what I expected from a road-trip movie but it still provided a few laughs and I'm sure some people will love this a whole lot more than me.

3 out of 5 stars... Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy the third addition of The Santa Clause and I'm pretty sure I fell asleep before the ending came around even Jack Frost couldn't keep this series alive!

4 out of 5 stars... I don't think anyone can believe that one pair of jeans fit all four actresses but that didn't stop me from getting into this movie, I'd completely forgotten how much I enjoy it.
