L'alchimie de Noël

This Netflix Christmas holiday comedy romance offers up the by now typical time travel turmoil of a knight in the 14th century Norwich, England transported to 21st century Bracebridge, Ohio (though supposedly the actual location is the city by the same name in Ontario, Canada). What's a little different in this time period mix up between the possible romantic couple is that the surprising and relatively stress-free storyline that somehow even so keeps its audience entertained with a lot of time period oddities and peculiarities. It's nice for a change, in today's high-tension socio-political environment to come across a movie that doesn't require and involve a lot of melodramatics and instead offers up a pleasant and uplifting theatrical experience at this time of year.

Another Netflix Christmas original starring the ever lovely Vanessa Hudgens. The film doesn't take itself too seriously and neither should the viewer. The sets are beautifully decorated, Vanessa's outfits are stunning and the warm Christmas magic and silly romantic jokes are amplified by the charming co-star, Josh Whitehouse as Sir Cole. This film has many plot holes and ridiculous, even eye-rolling, moments, but seriously, just suspend some disbelief, pour yourself some Noel Nog and enjoy the charming chemistry and warm Christmas spirit the two leads bring.

The fact you can tell what's going to happen at every moment is possibly the best thing about this. If you want to chill have wine and watch something not so serious it is perfect for that. Very cliche and very cute

Around 30 minutes in the film, they show Vanessa's car with the tree on the roof of the car. Then you see the car without a tree on its top. Finally they pick the tree and you see the Knight trying the tree on the roof of the car...

Very cliche Christmas film but it will make you feel good inside.The actors were likeable but I felt that none of it was very realistic, but then again, romance never really is. Moreover, with Christmas coming up I think it would be nice to have more romance films like this. I just wish this film was a little more thought out.
