Parents beware: not exactly FAMILY movie
I watched HOLIDAY IN HANDCUFFS with my 15 year old and found it to be a cute, romantic comedy. HOWEVER, I was very disappointed in the PG rating for this FAMILY MOVIE... something just doesn't add up. There were several NON-family lines and scenes ('because we hadn't slept together yet"... "bitchitus"... police bust in on couple in sexual play w/ man wrapped in a bow , .... "fantasy for our once a year birthday sex"... ETC.). I feel very strongly that if you are going to plug a movie as a FAMILY MOVIE, that gratuitious cursing, inuendo and blatantly NON-famiy scenes just really don't need to be included.
I will not let my 12 year old watch this - what otherwise would be a great little movie - due to the lack of consdieration for what it means to be FAMILY / PG scenes & verbage. PLEASE keep this in mind for younger viewers.

I was very disapointed that this was another attempt to aim a Christmas movie at younger viewers and have issues that they are not ready to handle. For the Family Channel it was surprising. I think they could have made this a very good film for the whole family without all the sexual overtones that is had. Parents should be warned that this is a movie with topics that need to be discussed openly.

We saw this movie in English class and the teacher had to turn it off they said, a***, h*ll, b*tch, b*st*rd, s*x, and p***. They also said a couple of d*mns. This should not be a PG-movie. There were also a hidden use of the word "b*tch" at the beginning. I was afraid they'd say f**k next!

NOT FOR KIDS!!!!!
I was honestly surprised to see this on the FAMILY channel. Let's get this straight: THIS IS NOT FOR KIDS!!!
Words like: b*tch, d*mm, b*stard, s*x, I know I'm forgetting a few...
Quotes like: "...just to get through our annual birthday s*x!", "I'm gay.", "...does naughty things to you...", "We haven't even had s*x yet.", "How do you know what p*rn star hair looks like?"
Scenes where: Police open the door to a house and there's a man without a shirt wearing a bow and a girl with a... awkward Santa suit if you know what I mean. An old man in a gas station gives a girl 'Love Cuffs'. A girl almost shoots a guys... place. And the talk at the dinner table is not good either. The mom tells the girl about sleeping with her husband... Etc.
NOT FOR KIDS!!!!

I enjoyed it. But wouldn't allow my kids to see it
I personally enjoyed the movie. I have been a fan of Melissa Joan Hart & Mario Lopez since I was a teen so it was fun to see them in a movie together.
My 11yr old asked if she could watch it but I decided against it. The fact that a girl is kidnapping a guy, it had a little bit of sex talk in it and the drinking wasn't something I wanted her to see. If she was a little older though it would be ok as long as we talked a bit afterwards.
