Christmas Crash stars Michael Madsen and tells the story of a long married couple who are on the brink of divorce. He is a workaholic; she is fed up. It's Christmastime and they go on their annual trip to their cabin and while there, he takes her up in his private plane in an attempt to rekindle their love. While flying, the plane has trouble and crashes into the lake. He's hurt and she has to help him as they walk to the road to try to find help. In the time (days) it takes to walk to safety, they of course rekindle their love. No shock there. That part of the movie was fine. It wasn't all that interesting but it wasn't all that horrible either. Once the couple gets rescued, however, this whole big conspiracy comes out that the plane crash wasn't just an accident but that the guy's business cohorts were trying to kill him. Crazy. The last part happens over the course of about 5 minutes; in other words, it basically comes out of nowhere. Overall, a very stupid plot point that ruined an okay movie.
Rating: B-
