Le rendez-vous de Noël

What rom com Christmas movie isn't cheesy? But it had it's moments, many comical ones. I found it entertaining enough, though I wouldn't go out of my way to watch again anytime soon. It is, however, better than most hallmark movies these days.

Kalen was hilarious, as usual. Loved his character.

The storyline was predictable, but most rom cons are.

Loved Pentatonix in it. They even had comical moments.

I'm not all that familiar with the other actors/actresses involved but they did ok. I didn't think it was bad acting, just typical storyline.

Give it a watch, decide for yourself. If nothing else, it kills some time, or would be great background noise.

Honestly I'm confused by some of the reviews. I just watched 4 Christmas love stories in a row and this one was less cheesy than those ones. Sure it's a hallmark meets jingle all the way type feel but I thought it was overall a cute message. Adding pentatonix was awesome for me, but if anything they were a bit cheesy and awkward at moments. Still fun to have their songs play in the background and the ending was cool. She was set on how the universe works, ive met girls just like this. So the writing didn't bother me much. I've met many a crazies. He was a man that went above and beyond while catching some feelings. Really not as bad of writing as some of the comments I read. I liked it enough to want to watch it again someday. Maybe I'll change my mind. It helped that I saw some pretty awful writing before this movie.

I watched this on Netflix.

Quick thoughts: The outfits starred, especially Layla & Teddy's lip-syncing contest tandem! I appreciated how the soundtrack slowly grew into the movie. Both Christina Milian and Devale Ellis nailed their respective roles, the professional divide kept the banter dry. Plus, I would love to run around a city doing side quests as an unknowing first date! The sets were the perfect pinch of Hallmark with a splash high-quality production to fulfill my holiday movie wishes. This silly rom-com will certainly be under my Christmas Tree this year!

Yes, you can predict the twists and turns of this love story from a mile away-but isn't that exactly why we adore Christmas movies? The dramatic, over-the-top magic of holiday miracles is what makes them so endearing!

Christmas romance is Christina Milian's genre. In this movie, she takes us on a delightful Christmas escape to find the potential love of your life you crossed paths with a year ago. It's unlikely, but that's the magic of Christmas!

Adding the Pentatonix was the perfect touch to infuse us all with the holiday spirit! This easy-going Netflix original gave me all the cozy vibes I needed. Plus, I loved seeing the Black love interest bringing even more warmth to the story!

Overall, I'd say it's a solid 3 star out of 5-perfect for anyone wanting to kick back, relax, and believe in a little holiday magic!

It is not as cheesy as many other Christmas movies. There were many elements I really liked, such as the music, the funny characters, and I love a quest that makes them wander all over town. There's actually a lot of good parts, but I was just confused by some of it. Does Roxy live in Chicago or NYC? It seems like they are at her apartment eating food in NYC. The restaurant he worked at, was that in Chicago or NYC? Also, I didn't like the song they danced to, musically speaking. However, much of the movie seems realistic. Just perhaps a little rushed sometimes? In the beginning, they could have shown quickly that a year had passed. I love the cast, especially Nikki Duval. Go ahead and watch it, but don't expect it to change your whole life. It's a comfort movie, which was probably the point. They can't all be Forrest Gump.
