Joe Menendez directs a new feature film.
Or as its also known:
"3 Holiday Tails" a.k.a "A GOLDEN CHRISTMAS 2: THE SECOND TAIL" is a romantic-comedy set during Christmas. It follows three generations of love stories and the precocious golden retriever that weaves in and out of all their lives.
The movie premiered on ION December 4th, 2011 under it's TV and DVD title:
"A Golden Christmas 2: The Second Tail"
Why the two titles, you ask?
"3 Holiday Tails" is the international title.
"A Golden Christmas 2: The Second Tail" is the domestic TV and DVD title.
Technically, the film is really a spin off of "A Golden Christmas", not actually a sequel in any way, shape or form. The only element tying this movie to "A Golden Christmas" is that Bruce Davison and Alley Mills reprise their roles as Rod and Katherine.
That's it.
Other than that, "A Golden Christmas 2" is it's own, wonderful stand alone story.
