How to Marry a Billionaire: A Christmas Tale apparently is from 2000 but when it was airing on Lifetime this weekend, there was some banner on the screen that it was premiering then so I'm not sure where it aired originally. I certainly had never heard of it before. It stars John Stamos, Shemar Moore and Josh Malina as three guys who decide that they want to marry rich before Christmas. Females do it all the time so why can't guys do it? I think they owe money to a loan shark or something. John Stamos is most successful and he finds a girl who is infinitely annoying but quite wealthy and proposes to her within a few days (at least it seems that way). Meanwhile, he has met an artist on the beach who he kind of likes but assumes is a poor, struggling artist so doesn't give her a shot. Shocker, she isn't. It's a really, really predictable and borderline stupid movie that even John Stamos' good looks and charm cannot save. I guess it's based (loosely, I'm assuming) on the Marilyn Monroe movie, How to Marry a Millionaire. It gets a pretty low grade because of its predictability and it being only incidentally about Christmas.
