action

James Ubriacco finds a job as a pilot of Samantha D'Bonne, the handsome president of the company Majique . On the same day, his wife Mollie received her notice of termination. After numerous unsuccessful applications, she temporarily works in a department store as Santa's elf.

Son Mikey has wanted a dog for a long time and since he found out during a visit to his mother in the department store that Santa Claus is not real, James wants to cheer him up by giving him a dog. Mikey gives this the name Rocks. Shortly afterwards they meet Samantha, who also knows that the children want a dog and since she can no longer look after her dog Daphne due to the numerous business trips, she leaves her to the Ubriacco family. Now the family has two dogs.

At Christmas, Samantha persuades James on a pretext to go with her on a business trip. In fact, she intends to seduce him. James promises his family to be home in time for Christmas Eve, but Samantha prevents this. Mollie then decides to go to him with the children and dogs. In the forest she comes off the road and gets stuck. Fortunately, they are discovered by park rangers and taken to a ranger station, but Rocks flees into the wilderness. When James sees through Samantha's game, he's upset and wants to go home immediately. Samantha threatens to dismiss him, but James doesn't care and he sets off. In the forest he is caught by a pack of wolves, but Rocks comes to his aid and is slightly injured in the fight against the lead wolf. The wolves finally flee when someone bites on James' beeper and the sound he makes hurts their ears. Shortly afterwards he meets Mollie and the children and they can celebrate Christmas together.

Reviews

Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times of November 5, 1993 that the first part contained at least a "scrap" of reality. The latter, on the other hand, would appear as if an “automatic script typewriter” had “vomited” him.

The lexicon of international films wrote: "A failed, boring film, also questionable because it conveys intolerance to young viewers."
