Before we get to the Moral, I should note that I did not watch this ABC Family classic in its entirety, but rather, the last 45 minutes (including commercials) when I arrived home and prepared something to eat. It's a Christmas TV movie starring Melissa Joan Hart, Mario Lopez, Markie Post, and Timothy "That's My Bush" Bottoms. June Lockheart plays Cranky Grandma.

Abduction and imprisonment of an attractive male stranger is the only way to work out one's issues with being a quirky, single, artistically-inclined woman. Men are moved to love by horror-styled abduction and handcuffing to the point that they'll realize you're really the one for them. Encourage your elderly grandmother's drunk driving habit for the hell of it, even though it engenders no character development and is never referred to again.

The idea for The Moral Of... sprang from a post I made to my Twitter feed.
