CHRISTMAS IN CONNECTICUT (1996) * Whoever convinced Kris Kristofferson and Dyan Cannon to be in this should get some sort of evil executive award. They should also have their assets frozen which would presumably preclude a repeat performance, sequel, etc. It goes on like one of those really dull business Christmas parties. Then the Christmas party comes only partly to life, as when one of the bosses gets a little loaded. Which is too bad, because they gave me a glimpse of cinematic glory...a window of opportunity to the real human greatness to which they were pretending to aspire. If only Dyan would have gone, "Actually, I'm not even this stupid Alice Blaine character, I'm Dyan Cannon and this is Kris Kristofferson. This is all fake, even the part where we admit we're faking. The only true part about any of it is that we're only here for the money. Hit it Kris!" and they would go into The Pilgrim: Chapter 33 > Jumpin' Jack Flash. Also featuring Tony Curtis, Shaft, and frozen ice cubes.
