Pretty good Christmas comedy romance, not your typical schmaltzy fodder, made me laugh on a number of occasions. All the actors were great and the comedy never felt forced, good chemistry all round with all the family, if you want something different from the usual Christmas movie crowd give this a go.

There are some adult themes but nothing to outrageous. I was impressed with Robbie Amel and Leighton Messter they worked well together and while the premise was obviously farfetched they made it work. All in all one of the better Christmas movies do far this year, I would definitely rewatch it again next year.

5.6/10

It's cuffing season and whether cuffed or not it's time to get on the train, sit at the back and observe the cuffed folk.

"Just cause I dumped him doesn't mean I have to dump his family. Besides they love me."

Based on the title alone it's a romantic Christmas comedy movie that goes exactly as you'd expect. The thing that did it for me was the sarcasm. It's not a savage film by any stretch of the imagination, but it gives moments where you think "yes, that is the appropriate response in this situation."

While it does have it quirks and odd moments of enjoyment it truly falls flat on its face. The story is not great by any means. It's mediocre at best. It falls in line with being a Hallmark film without actually being a Hallmark film so there's truly no surprises.

My biggest peeve in this film was the fact that things looked blurry and scratchy for the second half of the film. People and objects looked out of focus. It was weird.

Overall, if you like sarcasm and a little bit of family drama then you could potentially find something in this film. I laughed for a good chunk of it because the jokes and banter weren't bad. The story is mediocre, the acting isn't strong, and the film feels out of focus for the second half.

That's all for now. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. Until next time.... Enjoy the show!

If you want to watch a fun light Christmas movie this is a good film to watch. It may not have be groundbreaking or any type of holiday masterpiece but it was funny and made me think about getting ready for family Christmas. I found the main characters mother and family's to be very funny. I highly recommend this movie to get into Christmas spirit along with remembering what dating was like around the holidays. Especially the ex, the girl that got away! The small town feel and winter of Wisconsin added to the Christmas atmosphere. It was much like a decent Hallmark Christmas movie with more comedy. I may have to add this to my yearly Christmas movies.

Nobody is likeable. Everyone is "cute" and also a horrible person. Parents that treat their son like he is the least important person in the world. Super annoying passive aggressive mother, dummy clueless father and the ex fiancé that's entitled and won't return the engagement ring.

Other than that it was a cheap semi- innocent move. I am confused about who the target audience is. There was a mention of tingling balls and threesomes so not really a family friendly movie.

It's a very cheap and simple movie, which would be ok if it wasn't for pushing of some annoying messages (like not believing in covid) and bad characters.

For real though, this movie was way more fun than it had any right to be. The humore was spot on in so many places, and all the actors and actresses embodied and delivered their roles so well, while being relatively under-the-radar stars.

I loved how we had some genuine moments of emotion and vulnerability, which you dont always see in a christmas movie, as well as it being a somewhat novel concept, especially for me.

It was pretty goofy, and lighthearted, with almost no profanity or raunchy content, which i so appreciated. I'd definitely have a some cpuples friends over and watch this again for some good laughs.
