Un Noël à croquer

One of the things that sprang to mind halfway through this film was: they must have wanted a 'big' name attached to this movie (Vivica A. Fox) but it was an absolutely supervacaneous role. In my opinion, this whole film was actually dispensable. There's nothing really right about it, I don't feel. The acting is so so. The story is quite lame and could've pretty much been set at any time of the year so it's not so much a Christmas movie (apart from the fact that they have Christmas trees in it). There's no family feel (a hugely important part when it comes to Christmas flix for me), the girl always wants to get away from her mom (that's why Fox's role is so redundant) to get to work... And honestly, I don't quite get the title either. But that may be me...

Ya'll. It's bad. And yet, my roommate and I watch it every. Single. Year. We love it.

The strange floating people in the beginning at what seemed like a Top Chef competition but definitely wasn't? Perfection.

Unappetizing food plated poorly by the winner of the competition? Yes.

Deceased moms, non-existent steaks, non existent STAKES, and what seems like a deliberate PR campaign to make sure we the audience are excited by the idea of dating a city planner? I'll take it.

Also, bonus for a very ethnically ambiguous family lead by Vivica A. Fox. I don't know who is related to who, no adoption, foster or "chosen family" storyline to follow. It's perfect.

You ask, every year we watch this? The answer is YES.

There is truly nothing better than the cinematic universe of Christmas MOW's made in Canada, and this one definitely takes the cake.

Making a reaction between potassium chlorate and candy would be more interesting than watching the chemistry between Clara and that handsome-but-plain cook. And Clara, oh well, I'm sorry for your poor acting. I got bored to the moon and back.

I didn't believe in the acting and the story. The movie did not generate any emotion from me. It feels like an amateur movie.

Such a bad movie. It's actually funny. If you're playing drinking games. This is a 10. Drink when you spot the silly errors.

Waitress I ordered my steak rare...only problem there is no steak on the table.

Cell phones that are clearly off when you pretend to use them.

Tesla's with V8 sounds.

This one is just hilarious, we couldn't stop laughing.
