This was my first romantic holiday movie of the year, but even so, I found myself thinking of it as if I had seen several already. And I was thinking if I had, I would be tired of these movies and wouldn't enjoy this.
And while Jenna is quite appealing and someone I want to succeed, certain details don't make sense. For one thing, the ending would never happen. But that's why they make these movies. And why would an intelligent, confident girl do what she did on the elevator? She is pretty enough, I suppose, but does she need that much makeup to look good?
Cooper is a completely unlikable character and not someone we would want Jenna to end up with. However, the actor convincingly makes us think something has changed him, and that something is Jenna. I suppose such a thing is possible. In movies.
Sebastian is the guy next door that we all want Jenna to end up with. Very appealing. Looks kind of familiar but I don't know any of these actors. Who would root for Cooper? Well, maybe later.
Mia is sort of a Scrooge but doesn't overdo it. She can be persuaded to have a warm personality.
Helmut the photographer is appealing and quirky with some kind of accent.
And Brittany? Absolutely terrible. And I mean the acting.
If you've seen a lot of these movies, like I said, maybe this isn't the one to see. By itself, though, I guess it's a nice story.
