In Los Angeles, Max Carlyle makes a good living directing commercials and has a happy home life with his wife, Mimi, and two children. When Carlyle travels to New York City to visit his friend Charlie, who has been diagnosed with AIDS, he has repeat run-ins with a beautiful woman, Karen, and eventually sleeps with her. Though he goes home the next day and doesn't return until a year later, Carlyle's infidelity still lingers.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie's plot is centered on infidelity and resulting marital strain, occurring over a year. The only identified Christmas element is its release date, which has no bearing on the narrative elements required for a Christmas movie classification."
