The film starts with Andy Williams singing the song that gave this film its title. That in itself is a good start. If the budget stretches to popular music, they generally don't skimp on anything else too much.
The Fonz is a retired Police Officer on his way to see his niece when he meets a gorgeous guy, Warren Christie, that he thinks would be perfect for her, despite the fact she already has a man.
Shenanigans ensue as the build up to Christmas Eve and the big day that follows is prepared for. Can she get the turkey right and impress the boyfriends parents? Will she get to the shops on time to get that all important present? Or will she need a little help along the way?
* At this point I have to ask why Americans leave their seasonal prep so late? They were only putting the tree up on Christmas Eve and the night before that, she was just starting to write cards, that I'm pretty sure never got sent, let alone arrived in time for the big day. I know it's 2020 so it's a bit different this year, but I already have two trees up, two bags of presents wrapped and the cards are ready to go and it's only November 22nd! Leaving it until the last minute doesn't make sense to me and it means you don't get to spread out the joy for very long at all.
It all comes together in the end for Jenna and the romance in the film is cute, you can actually see the flirtation and the interest building between the two leads, which I've found to be lacking in some of the others I've seen lately.
Hey!! You can't go wrong if the Fonz is in it, I mean look at the success of "Scream".
