Weihnachtsgeschenke von Tiffany

"Something from Tiffany's" offers a simple storyline that lacks depth or meaningful connection. It's the kind of movie you'd watch on a lazy weekend or during the Christmas season, but don't expect anything profound. Though the story seemed interesting to me and had much more potential, revolving around the confusion about the engagement ring. But it was not very well portrayed. While visually appealing, the chemistry between the leads falls short, and the acting and dialogue leave much to be desired. Give it a shot if you're in the mood for a light romantic film and have nothing else on your watchlist.

This movie is so adorable. Of course there are always some inconsistencies in rom coms but for the most part it is amazing. The two leads have great chemistry. I love that the cast was very diverse. It just gave me a warm feeling inside. It makes me want to read the book asap. This was exactly what I needed for the holidays. I wish there were more scenes with them together but I guess that's the point since they hardly knew one another. The ending was perfect. I love when movies give you closure for the characters. If you're looking for a cute romantic holiday film definitely check this one out! You won't be disappointed!!

Something from Tiffany's (2022) is a movie my wife and I watched last week on Amazon Prime. The storyline follows a young man with a daughter who plans to get engaged to his girlfriend for Christmas and heads to Tiffany's to get an engagement ring. As he's leaving he bumps into a man buying earrings for his girlfriend for Christmas. The man buying earrings is hit by a car and the guy with the engagement ring rushes to his aid and calls an ambulance. Of course their gifts are swapped in the process and the ability to get the gifts back is more challenging than the guy planning to get married hopes.

This movie is directed by Daryl Wein (How it Ends) and stars Zoey Deutch (Zombieland: Double Tap), Kendrick Sampson (Insecure), Ray Nicholson (Licorice Pizza), Shay Mitchell (Pretty Little Liars) and Leah Jeffries (Beast).

The casting was perfect for this movie and everyone delivered their characters well. The father/daughter chemistry and dynamic portrayals were perfect. The storyline has a modern holiday feel to it and is well paced and unique. There were aspects that were frustrating and felt unrealistic, but you couldn't have the magic of the ending without a few cheesy moments. I did find myself saying over and over again, "you don't know this lady to be this pressed," and "just call the police already." They did go a little over the top on how "bad" the girlfriend and boyfriend were at times. The accidental proposal scene was wild. The conclusion is beautiful and very well done and the soundtrack was perfect.

Overall, this isn't perfect but it is a worthwhile addition to the holiday genre with a nice modern feel to it. I would score this a 7/10 and recommend seeing it once.

This movie wouldn't have been half as good with our Zoey Deutch. She's so great in rom-coms. She's so charismatic and magnetic. This movie started off iffy. The dialogue is not the best. I was definitely expecting a Hallmark channel type of film. But it picks up after the first act and I ended up really enjoying it. It's not too corny and doesn't fall into an obscene amount of cliches. It was a very tame, safe rom-com that you can definitely watch with the whole family. It's also a movie that just so happens to be set around Christmas but it's barely mentioned at all so you can watch any time of the year.

I read the book in anticipation, but that was a bad move. I wanted more from the movie than was given. Without having read the book, it was painfully slow and missing action and subplot. I had to explain the missing plot to my husband to help him interested. Definitely better than a Hallmark movie but I still expected more. The actors are all right but there's no real chemistry and everything needed an extra rehearsal. The character arcs for some were not fleshed out and that really cut into the characters and flattened them. It is clean except for a couple of expletives, but I think only 2 or 3 total.
