Airing on Lifetime this season, A Christmas Wedding is in the vein of Planes, Trains & Automobiles in that it tells the story of a bride (played by Sarah Paulson from Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip) desperately trying to get home from a business trip in time for her Christmas Day wedding. Along the way, she rides boats, planes, motorcycles and sleighs, to name a few. Meanwhile, because she's trapped away from home, her fiance is in charge of dealing with all the last minute wedding problems - of which there are many. A little role reversal, if you will. Not to give it away, but, go figure, the bride makes it home in time! It's kind of cute but more than a little annoying. I'm not a fan at all of Eric Mabius (from Ugly Betty), who plays the groom, and he looks especially goofy here as a blond. Dean Cain plays the mean boss constantly calling Sarah's character and expecting her to work and he's okay, I guess, but he's playing a jerk and does it well. I'm meh about Sarah Paulson too. And really, if getting home for your wedding is so important, then stop going out of your way to help people!
