Summary
It's almost Christmas - the season to be jolly - but things are going downhill fast at the Kendall's! Carl's been fired, the budget won't stretch far enough to cover gifts for everyone and Uncle Roscoe's due to arrive any day for a visit. As a matter of fact, a reasonable facsimile of Uncle has arrived, a bit prematurely, and brought his friend Kenny. He takes advantage of the mistaken identity and lends his expertise in solving family problems with dynamic energy and a joyously funny slant on life's challenges. Oh oh. The real Uncle Roscoe appears, but these two loveable 'con' men have already won the Kendalls' hearts and carry on with a lot of zest and compassion! A thoroughly contemporary holiday celebration, warmly, wryly humorous and brimming with the love of living! The best for any season!
