Con artist Trish (Mary Stuart Masterson) wasn’t much of a role model for six-year-old niece Patsy (Lauren Pratt)...and proved it as she took her for a Christmas weekend’s shoplifting and pickpocketing at a department store. After their collaring by good-natured security guard Bert (Mark Ruffalo), he takes responsibility for them so they won’t have to spend the holiday in stir. Will they respond to his kindness, or exploit it? Yuletide charmer co-stars Howard Hesseman, David Hewlett, Lawrence Dane. 89 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
