I had to (I didn't, really, let's be honest) give this a watch after seeing 'Sister Swap: Christmas in the City'.

'Sister Swap: A Hometown Holiday' portrays the other sister's perspective compared to the one shown in that aforementioned flick. I accidently watched these in reverse release order, not that that mattered all that much - possibly worked out better, 'twas interesting seeing all the dots connecting.

In terms of 'quality', I'd say this is the better one of the two installments. Kimberly Williams-Paisley's Jennifer is an improvement of Ashley Williams' Meg. I mentioned with that other film that I found it to be too sweet, too nice. This one is more to the standard cheesiness levels that I'd expect.

Overall, two boring films. I guess they still serve their purpose, mind.
