With a Hallmark Christmas movie, you pretty much know going in a lot of the plot elements - a bit of romance, some misunderstandings, the children are precocious and usually quite nice but if not, reformable, and the ending is preordained. TSI follows the pattern but compared to most other Hallmark movies, doesn't manage to creep up to the "average" bar. There really isn't much chemistry between anyone, the Keystone Cop element falls flat, and in a surprise to me in a movie aimed at the younger set, not only are guns pulled but the Feds even threaten children. That last is really odd for a Hallmark movie.
When Hallmark is in the Christmas spirit, there are multiple channels in play so flip past this one and hit one of their other shows. It has to be better.
