It was a nice storyline. A different premise than the usual stories told in Christmas romance movies. Albeit, it does have the typical single parent with a deceased or divorced parent. The acting was pretty poor all around. My main criticism is that the two main characters have absolutely no chemistry whatsoever between them. No fireworks, warmth, absolutely nothing. The casting was just a poor choice for the lead roles in this movie. It definitely could've been a much better outcome with actors that meshed together seamlessly. So, while it wasn't unbearable to watch, it was disappointing that it had promise to be oh so much better.

This story is completely formulaic without any surprises. You will guess every single plot point within the first ten minutes and then suffer through the predictable dialogue for the rest of the movie. The characters are an embarrassingly stereotypical collection of recycled troupes. The performances are acceptable within the low standard that has been established by the writing.

This would be better if it was rewritten as a self-mocking comedy spoof of every other holiday movie that has already been made. They could have saved a lot of money and time by editing together scenes from a dozen second rate shows that have already been made.
