Meet Me Next Christmas

It is not as cheesy as many other Christmas movies. There were many elements I really liked, such as the music, the funny characters, and I love a quest that makes them wander all over town. There's actually a lot of good parts, but I was just confused by some of it. Does Roxy live in Chicago or NYC? It seems like they are at her apartment eating food in NYC. The restaurant he worked at, was that in Chicago or NYC? Also, I didn't like the song they danced to, musically speaking. However, much of the movie seems realistic. Just perhaps a little rushed sometimes? In the beginning, they could have shown quickly that a year had passed. I love the cast, especially Nikki Duval. Go ahead and watch it, but don't expect it to change your whole life. It's a comfort movie, which was probably the point. They can't all be Forrest Gump.

6.8/10 (7) (Definitely Recommend)

I was browsing all the streaming services for a movie to watch when this one caught my eye. Immediately after watching the trailer, I wanted to watch this movie. However, I didn't have very high hopes for it. In the end, I would say it only slightly exceeded expectations.

The only thing I'll say, that may spoil the movie slightly, is that I should've been more aware at the beginning. The ending was not what I was expecting until about halfway through the film.

While "Meet Me Next Christmas" isn't super unique in its storytelling, it's the chemistry of the actors and characters that make it an enticing watch. Christina Milian and Devale Ellis bond very really well together in the pursuit of a non-existent Pentatonix ticket. There's a fun bond between the two that makes you cheer them on as they seek that ticket.

There's a humanity to the story. It goes beyond a love story, but includes an emotional connection between strangers. It's the Christmas spirit that really gets it going. Plus, Pentatonix for me has always been associated with Christmas because that's the type of songs I first heard when I was introduced to them.

Overall, I really enjoyed this movie and I would definitely watch it again. I enjoyed the love and human connections. While it's not super Christmas-y in its storytelling, for some like me, it may get you into that Christmas type of feel. It's a cute romcom with great chemistry between the leads, and while it has aome parts that are weird, they eventually make the film work. The end end overall is that it may seem cheesy to some, to others I do believe you'll have fun with it.

That's it for now. Thanks for taking time to read my review. Happy watching and enjoy the show!

The plot is interesting and the movie could have a lot more potential if the plot was told better is some parts. Especially in the beginning of the movie a lot of things seems to be rushed

I wish we could learn more about the characters, especially Layla, so we could relate to and understand her more.

I liked Layla and Teddy together, their chemistry was cute and i liked the way they got to know each other and how their relationship was built.

Overall it was a sweet Christmas movie that we all know how it will end with good actors, one of those movies you watch when you get home after a busy day to relax.

What more can you want from a Xmas feel good movie, it made me laugh, few tears and felt good for watching it. It's a good Christmas film, acting is good, characters were ok. My kids loved it and I'd watch it again year after year as it's better than a lot of Xmas films I've seen in the past. Yes it had a few bits that aren't believable but who cares, it was easy to watch. The ending was quite predictable but felt good to see and a feel good movie is all about feeling good which is what it done for me. I now love the pentatonix and will be playing them all Christmas. I will be watching this again before Xmas comes around.

If you have never heard of Pentatonix, you will by the end of the show. Actually, Pentatonix is a singing group from Arlington, TX. They were on a show called the Sing off and have been recording ever since. This movie features two actors that I'm very familiar with. One is Christina Milian. I love how she has turned into this Hallmark Christmas movie specialist. She is more versatile than that, but she has found a niche that works for her and I love that for her. The movie is somewhat predictable. It lacks some of the wit and punchlines that could have made it more memorable, but overall Christmas time is hear and I didn't hear Mariah Carey once in this movie because again, have you heard of pentatonix? I gave this movie a 7 strictly off my respect and appreciation for Christina Milian, been a fan a long time.
