Judge Hardy and Son

1 hr 30 mins

Mr. and Mrs. Valduzzi come to see Judge James Hardy for advice on how to prevent the loss of their home. He senses the aged Italian immigrant couple has a grown daughter who is ashamed of her parents and has not kept in contact with them. Failing to locate her himself, he offers money to his teenage son Andy if he can locate her. Andy has been having his usual problems with his car and girlfriends and needs money, so he eagerly accepts the challenge. At the same time he plans to get some girl to enter a school essay contest and split the $50 prize money with her. Since he supposes that a daughter of the daughter might have Valduzzi as a middle name, he sees three high school girls, Euphrasia V. Clark, Clarabelle V. Lee and Elvee Horton, in the hope that one of them is the right one. Not only do they all reject Andy's unethical proposal about the essay, but Euphrasia blackmails him into taking her to the Fourth-of-July fireworks show, which causes him more problems with his jealous girl, Polly Benedict. But Andy finally realizes how insignificant these problems really are when his mother becomes deathly ill with pneumonia.

A Magic Christmas

1 hr 20 mins

Jack Carter, a modest, middle-aged bakery owner, thinks he and his family are in a rut. Not only can he not provide them with the finer things, he realizes that he's not as close to his kids as he wants to be. His 17-year-old son Kyle is preoccupied with sports and will be leaving for college soon; his 14-year-old daughter Sienna is always lost in her phone. So for the upcoming Christmas holiday, Jack has the brilliant idea to reconnect with his family while also trying to spark his desired writing career by going on a Christmas vacation to a cabin resort in the mountains with no technological distractions whatsoever and make their trip the very best Christmas vacation ever. But the trip seems doomed from the start: their cabin is a dilapidated disaster, the kids are constantly complaining, and then Jack runs into his estranged, uber-competitive friend Robert, who used to vacation at the resort with Jack when they were kids. Robert is rich, successful, and better than Jack at everything. And while Jack and his family stay in a cold, run-down cabin, Robert and his family stay in one of the resort's fanciest newly-renovated cabins. Robert seems to upstage Jack at every turn, and Jack's family appears to be entranced by Robert and his wealth, leaving Jack to feel like a failure. Jack plans to one-up Robert at the very games Robert used to beat him at: the Farthering Pines Winter Olympics, a series of events that Jack's dad invented. But Jack's plan backfires and Robert beats him yet again. Jack has had it. His emotions get the best of him and he apologizes to his family for letting them down as a provider, but they reveal that they think they have the best father or husband anyone could want. Jack finally realizes that the love of his family is more rewarding than anything money could buy.

Josh's father has concluded the family will have to move in with mom...but Marley can't come. Determined to save his family, home, and Marley, but having no clue how to do it, Josh's perfect summer will seemingly end in disaster, until one day... Marley digs up a golden medallion with directions on it to a fabled local treasure of gold left behind by the Conquistadors. Together with Ana, the cute and spunky new girl in town, they set out into the deep woods to find the riches. But also on the treasure hunt are Wade and Scarecrow, two no-account hoodlums already wanted by the local authorities. They will stop at nothing to claim the loot for themselves and then split before the cops can catch onto them. But as nefarious as Wade and Scarecrow prove to be, they're no match for the cunning defensive tactics of Josh, Ana and Marley, who continually, and comically, thwart the devious ne'er dowels' attempts to snatch the bountiful fortune. Aside from combating the dastardly criminal duo, Josh and company have to contend with an array of fantastical booby traps, a twisting, seemingly never ending forest, and a cavern rife with perilous calamities. Along the way Josh learns that getting rich doesn't solve everything and that true friendship and understanding peoples' differences is a more direct path to harmony and happiness.
