Merry Swissmas

While I haven't been to Switzerland (yet), from friends who have, this seemed to be a poor representation of the country at Christmas, which I'm told is pretty spectacular. I guess the holiday traditions portrayed were genuine? Did anyone bother researching?

The second issue -- as much as I adore Jodie Sweetin, there was ZERO chemistry with the inn manager, who was about as dry as toast, and pretty emotionless. I've loved watching Sweetin in other Christmas movies, as well as her Full House co-star, Candace Cameron Bure, they make cheesy Christmas movies fun to watch during the season, and I mean that as a compliment!

Jodie Sweetin's Alex travels the world for her job and decides to spend Christmas with her family at her Mom's new inn in Switzerland. Problem is that Mom has invited her ex and his live-in girlfriend too and Beth used to be Alex's BFF. Alex takes the unwritten law that you don't date your best friend's ex pretty seriously. It is made worse by poor communication on the part of everyone leading to hurtful secrets.

While the reunion is going on, Alex spends time with Tim Rozan's Liam who is Mom's inn manager. There is some chemistry but nothing spectacular. Liam has a son which always adds a cute factor in a Christmas story.

This is a very simple story with no great highs or lows or surprises. The acting is decent. The dialogue is OK but nothing great. The viewer gets to see some Swiss Christmas customs.

I don't understand what other reviews are talking about. This movie is so cute! Filled with gorgeous Swiss Christmas traditions and love stories from romance to family to friendship. I have watched this on repeat in the lead up!!!! Love it so much!!!!!

The Swiss traditions are ones i never knew about. It's wonderful they are sharing them - I'm going to take some on board for my family.

Christmas movies are meant to be a little cheesy! However the actors make up for the classic cheesy script, they are wonderful, especially the main two.

This movie has definitely got me into the Christmas spirit this year and will be on my list of yearly re-watches!

Besides the lack of chemistry between the leading couple, the story is awful.

This girl is forced to accept a relationship, a situation she didn"t heal. It's sad when people don"t respect our decisions or our feelings. O felt her mom was out of line. No, because it's Christmas it doesn"t mean you have to firgive and forget everything. Yes, she needs to move on, but not forced into it. And then the situation with Liam, two weeks there and now she has to decide if she stays or leave for good cause it could hurt his kid... What!!!! It's been two damn weeks... Honestly I would have skipped that trip.

When people abroad try to make a film about your homecountry it can be really good or really bad. Here there is so much bad. There's really nothing much swiss about this film apart from the swiss flags everywhere (which we don't really have except for 1st of August). It seems like it's someones idea of what the country might be like from looking at a tourist brochure from 30 years ago and mixed it up with a clearly American house and American scenery with a view swiss mountain pictures added in as transitions.

The film itself continues to disappoint. The acting isn't great, the plot is very simple, not really believable and just flat. Having those two former friends meet with those semi love quarrels and OF COURSE the handsome hotel guy is a widower for whom the main character falls for.. i mean its just so blatantly bad.

I'm glad i didn't pay for this. What a waste of time though.
