About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a charming, slightly zany classic romantic comedy with a holiday backdrop and lots of mistaken-identity scrambling, in the spirit of Holiday or Love Crazy; Not for you if you need sharp wit, realism, or big Christmas cheer.
Pros: charming romantic-comedy vibe; strong supporting cast; cozy holiday setting | Cons: far-fetched coincidences; uneven laughs; Christmas feel is light
