Joy to the World
5.8
“She created the perfect life. Now she has to create the perfect family.”
Lifestyle guru Joy Edwards - whose cookbooks feature her perfect home life and family - is horrified when a TV network decides to film Christmas dinner at her fabled, but fabricated, country home. Now, she must recruit her best friend Max to pose as her fake husband for the cameras - but they both discover something real along the way.
