She literally committed aggravated kidnapping, and did it at gun point, and managed to discharge the gun during the kidnapping. That's like 20 years in prison minimum lmao

I feel like the woman's family didn't believe him not because they're gullible, but because this is a common occurrence. I bet her last bf was kidnapped too. It might even run in the family; her dad may have been kidnapped. This is just a quirky fun tradition for them
this reminds me of an episode of criminal minds where the women in a family get kidnapped to be wives of the men and are raised from like age 10 in the family to be prepared to be a wife.
“mario lopez’s characters name is david. i’m telling you that so i don’t have to keep using his full name.” …. “so mario lopez stands up” i love it here
Her crimes consist of: Kidnapping, threat of bodily harm with a deadly weapon, owning firearm without a license, reckless endangerment with use deadly weapon, discharging firearm without license, discharging firearm in uncontrolled area, bail jumping. Everything should round up to around 30-40 years in prison.
It's funny that she mentions "tie me up, tie me down", because that's the name of a movie where a guy kidnaps a woman and tries to make her fall in love with him, and in the end she does bc of Stockholm syndrome, but it's played off like a cute happy ending 🤪
Terrible Christmas rom-com but if David handled the whole "oh my god, I've been kidnapped" thing more realistically, this would be a very disturbing psychological thriller.
Cause shes a white girl its haha funny. honestly this leads to this terrible culture of whenever a woman does something horrible to a man others say you want it or shes just a girl youre weak
Lawyer here: a person “refusing to press charges” just means that the “victim” will refuse to cooperate with an investigation or testify. The prosecutor can still go forward with the case but it will be a lot harder to win without the victim’s cooperation. However, a prosecutor would likely go forward with a kidnapping case even if the victim doesn’t participate just because the nature of the crime is pretty egregious.

being not only kidnapped, and not only forced into the role of being a part of a family I don't know, but having that family of strangers gaslight me and convince me into thinking I'm supposed to be there is probably my worst nightmare now cheers
This movie is so insulting to people that have actually been kidnapped and vindicating the main character as a being the good girl. "Because sometimes being crazy can make you happy." Imagine being a victim of kidnap watching this movie paint the picture of this Turdy girl being justified for doing one of the most heinous crimes out there.
What you're referring to is whats called dummy plot, where the conflict that drives the story could easily be resolved by the characters displaying a normal human level of communication
After watching this I watched the entire movie, and I'm genuinely shook. It's horrifying that they completely gaslight the audience AND the captive. As a male victim of an abusive female, it's personally particularly frustrating- if a male kidnapped a female in a lifetime movie it would be a REALLY different vibe, and that's infuriating.
I'm sorry that happened to you and I hope you're doing better now. If it's any consolation, movies just generally seem to be weird about kidnapping. Case in point: Beauty and the Beast.
@psychicbyinternet That more of a misunderstanding of the movie. Yes she learned to care for him but she also pity him for what happened to him. If she genuinely has Stockholm she would of never asked to leave to see her Father again and he wouldn’t of let her if he truly loved her. The defending him and trying to save his life is because she knows he not actually a bad person nor does he deserve to die. Kidnapping is never okay in a realistic world but when you get magically turned to a literal monster that tramua is a bit understandable
I haven't seem anyone note this: The pistol is an early flintlock. You can point at whoever you want, unless you have actual black powder, a lead ball, and have the knowledge on how to manually load a flintlock, you aren't going to be able to fire that thing. And even if you do, the lack of rifling means you'll have to be EXTREMELY lucky it if hits the intended target, even at fairly close range. Putting aside that this means her boss had all that laying around (flintlocks can't remain loaded for extended periods of time and still fire, so no the gun wasn't just loaded to begin with), you can only fire it once before you need to reload it. Which means as soon as she shot the seat, she was COMPLETELY UNARMED and David could have taken that chance to free himself.
it’s a flint lock, how do you not know this shit? where’s the rest of the ammo going to go when there’s no magazine. also. she’s a klutzy white city woman, you really think she’s capable of murder?
I kinda feel bad for his girlfriend. Joining a police investigation yourself & going house to house is already too much effort to put into a man but then after all that he dumps her & gets with the bitch that kidnapped him. I’d be livid
@@JackalopeBunny I mean, if it was Stockholm syndrome, idk if that should count as cheating. I feel like you’d be more worried that your boyfriends mind broke instead of being angry that he fell for his kidnapper…
This could so easily be reimagined as a legit horror movie, but it's probably scarier by being presented as a wholesome family movie like here. Still, imagine being a family member of the kidnapper and realizing what is going on in the middle of the event...
My family watches this every year after baking cookies for 6-8 hours. We can quote the dinner scene by heart. It's a TERRIBLE movie, but it's a hell of a good time.
You know what would’ve been a better movie? If the man and the woman are both complete strangers taking separate road trips to see their family/job event for Christmas. They meet at this tourist-trap town while taking the night off and go to a magic show hosted by a hotel there where a crappy magician uses these old handcuffs that won’t come off. So in order to get to their respective events on time they take a detour together on the road to find this one locksmith or key in order to get the handcuffs off and they end up bonding and falling in love during the process. Yeah Ik this sounds bad but hey; at least it’s better than one of the main characters kidnapping and holding the other main character (THE LOVE INTEREST NONETHELESS) hostage.
The term “full gooby” implies the existence of half gooby and quarter gooby, and I just want to know what amount of gooby kurtis feels on a daily basis
"squeet" made me chuckle bc in high school i did tech for the addams family musical and one of the characters accidentally said "squeet" instead of square feet on stage in front of an auditorium full of people. he was 16 and he had to just keep going and say the next line while all of us nerds on headsets had to be scolded by the stage manager for laughing too much and risking fucking up the audio/light cues so thank you for that delightful memory kurtis
G o d I miss having shit like that happen in theater. I was in the booth doing sound and since I knew the script so well, I got to laugh HARD when something like that happened
I remember going to a school play my friend was in, and at one point one kid was in a gorilla costume during a huge pool noodle fight. My friend told me that was improvised. The play was like a modern version of Romeo and Juliet where the mc and love interest star in the play, but it ends up going horribly wrong. Idk if I explained it properly.
This is one of those movies where I think "if they were a dude they would be considered an actual psychopath" like this is a horror film played off as a cute rom com.
I feel like it would be a good plot for a thriller, where in the first half it is played off as a rom com with a quirky girl. Then you realize that she is a psychopath and it's not cute, he is in actual danger. To use people's preconceived notions about gender and make them realize it is a strange double standard. I guess kind of similar to Gone Girl
@@noelle2624 that's not possible though, because the way she did her hair was called a perm and perms fully change the hair strand. It's some big science-y thing that I don't fully want to explain but there would be absolutely no way for her to fix it that soon and so if it was messed up, it'd have to be like that for at least 4 months
@@awkwardturtle105 no if you wash ur hair enough times you can get rid of the perm, also her sister could have just done a perm but rather than it being a curl perm it would have been a straightening one.
Well actually there are four key components that characterize Stockholm syndrome!: A hostage's development of positive feelings towards the captor. No previous relationship between hostage and captor. A refusal by hostages to cooperate with police and other government authorities. Not just Empathy and it could be them falling in love
It could definitely entail falling in love with your captor. There are many different ways to experience Stockholm syndrome, many different ✨b r a n d s✨.
Stockholm syndrome can be falling in love with your kidnapper/abuser, but it can also be seeing them as a friend or just having positive feelings about your kidnapper/abuser (source: I have Stockholm syndrome)

i’m writing a screenplay about a woman who has to hold a guy hostage while evading the law after accidentally killing a cop in self defense. i really wanted to emphasize that the main character is really traumatized from her incident with the cop, and that she feels that she has no other way of convincing the cops to not instantly kill her. she reflects on how, ironically, she is now the criminal that the cops want to think she is. the initiating event is purely just bad luck
@@wolfe440 There is literally a horror movie (and book) called Misery where a woman kidnaps a man and like breaks his kneecaps with a hammer and crap. It's by Stephen King. 😭 There are also a ton of "romcoms" where a dude kidnaps a woman, and it's been played as a "romantic" gag in movies, plays and books since friggin' Greek myths.
@@arcanefarren at some point, I just accepted it was happening and honestly it was fun to just because of how hilariously unreal it is. (I also might be having Stockholm Syndrome for this movie)
"Doing one crazy thing does not make a person crazy" Well, of course, I mean she's just a girl in love. She can't be held responsible for her actions. She has no underlying issues to address, she's certifiably cute and adorably obsessed...
Friendly reminder that if a scenario suddenly turns creepy af when the gender roles are reversed, it was already creepy af to begin with and shouldn’t have been done You know, like this entire movie
I've found that a good tip is to make everyone a blank slate from the bottom up when coming up with a concept, then deciding what should and shouldn't be included/taken seriously from that
If you take out the corny Hallmark jokes, and turn the lighting down a bit, then you've instantly got a Lifetime drama. You don't even have to change the plot!
imagine expecting to meet your boyfriend at a diner and he doesn’t show up and he’s missing for a few days before calling you to tell you he’s been kidnapped so you call the police and save him from the woman who kidnapped him only for him to dump you before you get married to be with the woman who kidnapped him justice for david’s girlfriend
In the movie his girlfriend was awful to him, the staff, her family. The theme of the movie is everyone is doing what's expected of them instead of what they want. The girlfriend wants the money and power of marrying him. He thinks he has to marry a high society broad because he came from nothing and he thinks that's what he's supposed to want. All of the kids think they have to hide what they want to do so it looks like they are doing what's expected by the parents. Even the parents are only doing Christmas in a cabin because they feel they're expected to make Christmas special and big every year.
The girlfriend immediately gets more sympathy points from me because she's played by Gabrielle Miller who was Lacey in Corner Gas and Melissa Joan Hart was in that terrible Evangelical Conservative movie "God's Not Dead 2".
I feel like saying “she stole a Man” is more wild than just saying “she committed a kidnapping.” Because even though all kidnappings are bad, we have a preconceived notion of what kidnapping is “supposed” to look like. Stereotypically, The kidnappers lure a child or young woman away from safety and then physically overpower them. But in this movie, chickadee, just saw Mario Lopez in a restaurant and stole him like she was shoplifting a candy bar. I mean, usually you don’t abduct candy at gunpoint, but the whole movie treats what she’s doing as being as causal as pocketing a snickers bar.
Also I'd argue "steal" implies you stole something from someone. It implies that the person stolen belonged to someone else. Which is weird. You cant steal something that nobody owns.
17:48 - I have a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice, and while I am still a novice as the law, something that pisses me off is how in movies cops constantly make up fake laws/threats to get what they want. Unless you physically do something that aids in the kidnapping, you have done nothing wrong. You as an individual are not responsible to stop crimes and you have no obligation to help the police to do their jobs. If any cops threaten you into compliance, I recommend remaining silent and seeking out an attorney. Having an attorney when a cop interrogates you is vital, since the police aren't always interested in seeking your best interest.
I will never forget the horror of going into my commanders office first thing in the morning and being red my rights. I was soooo scared and confused, mainly beceause I had not done anything illegal. So the first thing that I did was invoke my right to my attorney. I figured my attorney could explain to me what was going on. She said that it was basically some sort of fishing expedition, never heard the full story.
Here's a theory: Her boyfriend found the victims and confronted her about it after setting them free and claiming the ransom, leaving her, the kidnapper, anonymous because he loved her . She threatened to kill him if he didn't give her the money just before getting told by her father that she has an interview, so she apologizes maybe and drops it like it's nothing. He left her later on when realizing how psychotic she is, but made sure to leave her in front of a room full of people, because he knew she wouldn't hurt him with witnesses
I'm so happy you brought up the apartment thing, Its so annoying that so many movies do that, where the main character live in "a poor house" or "a tiny house" when its like a fucking huge house, or amazing apartment that should be super expensive
catch me living in a literal mansion and still insisting that i'm poor because i eat chinese takeout leftovers from my dinner the night before lol edit: so i just realized after typing this that Shane Dawson literally does that lol 💀
you know in movies when everyone’s like…. she crazy…. but she’s not and just a little quirky. what i adore about this magnificent film is that she’s…. genuinely insane. the straight up criminality mixed with rom com-ness, just beautiful 🥲
The most useful information I think we’ve gathered from this is that no one should ever kidnap Kurtis because he WILL rub poop all over your walls. His? Yours? Who knows. But he will. And good for him.
About the pressing charges thing: my family was just hit by a drunk driver on New Years (im watching this video from the hospital hi) and the STATE is pressing charges because it is a CRIME. If we chose to not prosecute for damages, we could, but the crime of drunk driving is still a crime that they will follow up on….. we don’t even have a say in that.
Hello everyone! Thank you for the kind thoughts and comments and prayers if anyone said any. We’re fine now. My mom just got out of the hospital and is finally “home” with us. We have to rent an apartment right now because our house has too many stairs.
For criminal charges you can’t just “not press charges” it’s the authorities (the DA) that decide whether or not to press the charges… you can only decide to not press charges on civil cases (which could be the civil case that relates to a criminal case I.E. how you get charged AND sued for killing someone)
To be fair it might have been the case that he was refusing to make a statement or testimony or something? And that would have been most of the evidence proving that he was taken against his will cause there probably wasn’t a lot of physical evidence definitively showing he was there against his will. But that’s still different from not pressing charges.
But with things where the only evidence is your word against theirs if you dont want to testify the case will be dropped. For example rape is a crime therefore criminal charges, but if the victim doesnt want to testify they cant really prosecute and a lot of rapists arent charged with a crime
10:15 This is such a horror concept tho imagine you've been kidnapped and no one believes you or worse people around you basically acts like its where you're supposed to be that's so scary just how that person must feel
I was homeschooled my whole life and when my mom and I would do math we would consistently refer to square units of measure as “squillimeters” and “squentimeters” and “squinches” etc. so it made me laugh when you accidentally said “squeet” instead of “square feet” because that was actually a running joke throughout my whole childhood!
15:30 you joked about titanic, but the radio not being used and ignoring communication from a ship that was warning them about the ice berg was one of the biggest factors in it sinking
The district attorney decides if charges get pressed, but if he 'didn't press charges' he probably would refuse to be a witness, and it's kinda hard to prove kidnapping without a victim's testimony. The DA is legally allowed to compel people to testify, but if he refused, he would be put into jail, and the DA probably wouldn't want to imprison a kidnapping victim for not testifying, so she could have been not charged out of a lack of evidence
Someone mentioned too that she’d probably be charged anyway because of stealing the gun, but idk if the DA would also make a connection that maybe she kidnapped him at gunpoint… which if they did and it was proven, then that’d be another felony charge. Lol
I thought the movie was called “ Stockholm Syndrome” because of the title and the whole time you were describing it I was thinking “man he should review holiday in handcuffs it’s just like this”
I always wondered why films seem terrified to show someone living in even just a realistic apartment? Even if they're small, they're usually beautiful/historic but worn-down (Typing this from my much beloved 400sq ft apartment lol)
@@faline6458 it is because you can not fit a film crew, sound crew, and all the people standing around watching without getting caught on camera inside a real sized apartment. Look at friends apartment on their jobs? Yeah right!

Lawyer here: a person “refusing to press charges” just means that the “victim” will refuse to cooperate with an investigation or testify. The prosecutor can still go forward with the case but it will be a lot harder to win without the victim’s cooperation. However, a prosecutor would likely go forward with a kidnapping case even if the victim doesn’t participate just because the nature of the crime is pretty egregious.

This movie is so insulting to people that have actually been kidnapped and vindicating the main character as a being the good girl. "Because sometimes being crazy can make you happy."

After watching this I watched the entire movie, and I'm genuinely shook. It's horrifying that they completely gaslight the audience AND the captive. As a male victim of an abusive female, it's personally particularly frustrating- if a male kidnapped a female in a lifetime movie it would be a REALLY different vibe, and that's infuriating.

I'm sorry that happened to you and I hope you're doing better now. If it's any consolation, movies just generally seem to be weird about kidnapping. Case in point: Beauty and the Beast.
@psychicbyinternet That more of a misunderstanding of the movie. Yes she learned to care for him but she also pity him for what happened to him. If she genuinely has Stockholm she would of never asked to leave to see her Father again and he wouldn’t of let her if he truly loved her. The defending him and trying to save his life is because she knows he not actually a bad person nor does he deserve to die. Kidnapping is never okay in a realistic world but when you get magically turned to a literal monster that tramua is a bit understandable
This movie is the embodiment of "how can it be a hate crime if I loved doing it?"

I haven't seem anyone note this: The pistol is an early flintlock. You can point at whoever you want, unless you have actual black powder, a lead ball, and have the knowledge on how to manually load a flintlock, you aren't going to be able to fire that thing. And even if you do, the lack of rifling means you'll have to be EXTREMELY lucky it if hits the intended target, even at fairly close range.
Putting aside that this means her boss had all that laying around (flintlocks can't remain loaded for extended periods of time and still fire, so no the gun wasn't just loaded to begin with), you can only fire it once before you need to reload it. Which means as soon as she shot the seat, she was COMPLETELY UNARMED and David could have taken that chance to free himself.
David probably didn't have that extensive gun knowledge lol
@Dylan Rodrigues Okay this comment is amazing XD
it’s a flint lock, how do you not know this shit? where’s the rest of the ammo going to go when there’s no magazine. also. she’s a klutzy white city woman, you really think she’s capable of murder?

So Stockholm syndrome is actually empathizing with your captor, not falling in love with them, which is also something that happened in this movie
Well actually there are four key components that characterize Stockholm syndrome!: A hostage's development of positive feelings towards the captor. No previous relationship between hostage and captor. A refusal by hostages to cooperate with police and other government authorities. Not just Empathy and it could be them falling in love
It could definitely entail falling in love with your captor. There are many different ways to experience Stockholm syndrome, many different ✨b r a n d s✨.

BULLSHIT
In the movie his girlfriend was awful to him, the staff, her family. The theme of the movie is everyone is doing what's expected of them instead of what they want. The girlfriend wants the money and power of marrying him. He thinks he has to marry a high society broad because he came from nothing and he thinks that's what he's supposed to want. All of the kids think they have to hide what they want to do so it looks like they are doing what's expected by the parents. Even the parents are only doing Christmas in a cabin because they feel they're expected to make Christmas special and big every year.
The girlfriend immediately gets more sympathy points from me because she's played by Gabrielle Miller who was Lacey in Corner Gas and Melissa Joan Hart was in that terrible Evangelical Conservative movie "God's Not Dead 2".
I feel like saying “she stole a Man” is more wild than just saying “she committed a kidnapping.” Because even though all kidnappings are bad, we have a preconceived notion of what kidnapping is “supposed” to look like.
Stereotypically,
The kidnappers lure a child or young woman away from safety and then physically overpower them.
But in this movie, chickadee, just saw Mario Lopez in a restaurant and stole him like she was shoplifting a candy bar.
I mean, usually you don’t abduct candy at gunpoint, but the whole movie treats what she’s doing as being as causal as pocketing a snickers bar.
i love this comment. your humor is **chef's kiss**
Also I'd argue "steal" implies you stole something from someone. It implies that the person stolen belonged to someone else. Which is weird. You cant steal something that nobody owns.

17:48 - I have a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice, and while I am still a novice as the law, something that pisses me off is how in movies cops constantly make up fake laws/threats to get what they want. Unless you physically do something that aids in the kidnapping, you have done nothing wrong. You as an individual are not responsible to stop crimes and you have no obligation to help the police to do their jobs. If any cops threaten you into compliance, I recommend remaining silent and seeking out an attorney. Having an attorney when a cop interrogates you is vital, since the police aren't always interested in seeking your best interest.
I mean it's not unrealistic...
Cops are legally allowed to straight up lie to people during interrogations though, so there's that
Cops are legally allowed to lie in the US, so they could absolutely have lied to make her feel scared into complying

@@alchemicmercuryalways invoke your right to an attorney, some cops will do whatever it takes to make an arrest
Here's a theory: Her boyfriend found the victims and confronted her about it after setting them free and claiming the ransom, leaving her, the kidnapper, anonymous because he loved her . She threatened to kill him if he didn't give her the money just before getting told by her father that she has an interview, so she apologizes maybe and drops it like it's nothing. He left her later on when realizing how psychotic she is, but made sure to leave her in front of a room full of people, because he knew she wouldn't hurt him with witnesses

For criminal charges you can’t just “not press charges” it’s the authorities (the DA) that decide whether or not to press the charges… you can only decide to not press charges on civil cases (which could be the civil case that relates to a criminal case I.E. how you get charged AND sued for killing someone)
came to say this lol
Imagine someone murders someone, and the victim's family is just like "Nah, it's okay. We didn't like them anyway."
To be fair it might have been the case that he was refusing to make a statement or testimony or something? And that would have been most of the evidence proving that he was taken against his will cause there probably wasn’t a lot of physical evidence definitively showing he was there against his will. But that’s still different from not pressing charges.
this! I don't even know how is it possible that most people don't know this?
But with things where the only evidence is your word against theirs if you dont want to testify the case will be dropped. For example rape is a crime therefore criminal charges, but if the victim doesnt want to testify they cant really prosecute and a lot of rapists arent charged with a crime

The district attorney decides if charges get pressed, but if he 'didn't press charges' he probably would refuse to be a witness, and it's kinda hard to prove kidnapping without a victim's testimony. The DA is legally allowed to compel people to testify, but if he refused, he would be put into jail, and the DA probably wouldn't want to imprison a kidnapping victim for not testifying, so she could have been not charged out of a lack of evidence
that is mental, holy shit
I’m so glad I’ve seen Law and Order bc I understand what u said
Someone mentioned too that she’d probably be charged anyway because of stealing the gun, but idk if the DA would also make a connection that maybe she kidnapped him at gunpoint… which if they did and it was proven, then that’d be another felony charge. Lol

We have almost an entire year to make “Holiday Ham Hole (Hahahahhahaahaha)” for Kurtis to review it in time for next Christmas.
It’s my favorite movie!!! I’m glad people are finally talking about Christmas Ham Hole Hahaha
lessssgooooo i'll volunteer to be an actress!! :D
I can provide the ham
@@l1z4rd67 and i'll provide the hole!
@@l1z4rd67 i will provide the hole
I thought the movie was called “ Stockholm Syndrome” because of the title and the whole time you were describing it I was thinking “man he should review holiday in handcuffs it’s just like this”
id rather come to the party dumped and boyfriendless than show off my boyfriend who is insanely ranting about being kidnapped the entire time
she calls her home a crappy loft while my apartment is literally the size of her kitchen
I always wondered why films seem terrified to show someone living in even just a realistic apartment? Even if they're small, they're usually beautiful/historic but worn-down (Typing this from my much beloved 400sq ft apartment lol)
@@faline6458 it is because you can not fit a film crew, sound crew, and all the people standing around watching without getting caught on camera inside a real sized apartment. Look at friends apartment on their jobs? Yeah right!
@@christianauldridge1264 It definitely doable tho but I guess too much effort for this type of movie
@@christianauldridge1264 that's what a soundstage is for, a good example is Lily's apartment in Season 2 of "How I Met Your Mother"
kurtis is giving 80s dad and i'm living for it
💀🗿
He’s just passing out fathers to everybody?
@@Skipsenberg yeah smth like that
“We’ll just call him David so we don’t have to say his full name. So Mario Lopez…”
Was looking for this comment lmao
The fact that he did cover Holiday Ham Hole in 2022 makes this way better.
i still prefer Holiday at the H. H. Holmes Hotel. would be like a saw christmas special.
"accidentally making beef wellington" is literally the best analogy I've ever heard. like I literally snort-laughed so hard that tiny bits of carrot got stuck in my nose.
Yo that bit was fucking HILARIOUS!
The Checkov's gun joke was really funny. Trust me. The absolute genius to create a check off joke and a checkov's gun joke is incredible honestly genius
How come?
ikr
Literally scrolled through the comments to talk about how genius the Chehkov bit is
I cried laughed at “you better shoot that thang.” Genius Chekov bit
True:)

“We’ll actually no, Christmas wasn’t about a week ago, it was about family” amazing line king
What’s wild is that they are 2 reasonably big actors who agreed to do this movie
Someone needs to make holiday ham hole before next Christmas so Kurtis isn't a liar!
