Synopsis :
Daniel
knew that his marriage was in trouble, but a romantic winter
vacation in the mountains of Vermont could revive his ailing
relationship. His wife, Celeste, had reluctantly agreed to go.
So Daniel drags Celeste, his daughter Allison, and his father
into the mountains. Daniel’s son Marc and Marc’s fiancée,
Bonnie, will join them in a few days. But Daniel hadn’t
anticipated that when they arrived at the resort, the toilet
would be broken, the stove wouldn’t work, the garbage disposal
would be out of order, and the lock on the front door wouldn’t
lock. He didn’t foresee that when he slipped into the warm
Jacuzzi, he would accidentally sprain his big toe when he
unintentionally slipped it into the suction nozzle of the tub.
He’d be fine tomorrow. A few pain pills would get him through a
day on the slopes without much trouble. But then there was this
seven year old boy who ignored all the rules and jutted right
out in front of him. He should have nailed that kid when he had
the chance. But the boy got away, leaving Daniel in a pile of
snow with a broken ankle. So Daniel is left to amuse himself in
the cabin, while the rest of the family leaves him behind to
play on the slopes.

Synopsis
: Maggie was
tired of things never working out. She may be only thirteen, but
she knew when she was getting a raw deal. Here it’s Christmas
and she’s stuck alone with her step mother and her Aunt Rose,
while her father was serving over seas. But Aunt Rose has a
trick up her sleeve to help cheer up the pouting young Maggie.
She gives her a magic mirror with which she can become
anybody she wants, but she’d better use the formula correctly,
because there’s only one wish. And if she doesn’t like where she
winds up, there’s a formula for that too. But Maggie is too busy
listening to her music on her walkman, and doesn’t catch the
instructions. Her wish is to be rich, famous, and powerful, but
the stupid mirror doesn’t work. Or does it? When she wakes up
the next morning, she’s a dictator of a foreign country, a fat,
pock marked man with an ugly beard. And she’s the ruler of a
country that doesn’t allow Christmas. Having forgotten the way
back, she’s stuck in this foreign land and in this foreign skin. |
