Ghosts of Christmas Past

Just finished watching movie and I loved it. It's so Christmas-y, sweet and such a loving comedy, Annie Clark did a wonderful job in a movie, everyone who get a chance to see the movie - don't ever miss it. This movie belongs to a watch list for Christmas with friends and family.

"Ellie" (Annie Clark) isn't the nicest of souls. She has an habit of chatting with, or meeting, men - then ghosting them. With Christmas fast approaching, she feels a little adrift so heads to a psychic who tells her that she must make amends if she is ever to find real love for herself. So, armed with her mobile phone (this features as prominently as she does in this film) and her, handsome, tech-savvy pal from work "Charlie" (Dan Jeannotte) she sets about trying to apologise for her systemic rudeness over the years. These scenarios form the basis of the story, but the real tale is about the pair of them putting two and two together and, well, it's not rocket science. This is a perfectly watchable, equally forgettable, slice of seasonal slush that gives two B-listers a chance to show off their perfect teeth, deliver some cheesy lines and take us on a journey of self-discovery that leaves us in no doubt at all about what is going to happen at the end. You will not need any cerebral input for this, it is a feel-good, lightly comedic, drama that maybe, just maybe, points out just how thoughtless and ignorant people can be to those they meet online.

Like most Christmas movies, this was so predictable and formulaic that it made my blood sugar spike until I passed out.

I'm giving it 2 stars because I was unconscious through most of it, which is the nicest thing I can say about this 1h 27m descent into mediocrity.

Completely self-absorbed yet vapid female is sent by a fortune teller, on what feels like *The* 12-step program to apologize to all of the (probably) decent guys she "ghosted" on a dating app.

If you need to be told you're shallow and not only do you need to change your ways, but maybe look around and make amends to the people near you, your conceit is probably a lost cause. Fortune tellers should advise everyone to get off the apps and go meet real people "irl".

Most surprising twist? Not one of these guys says "no worries, I totally ghosted you first." I suggest if this is the only Christmas movie on, turn off the TV and bake cookies for your neighbors.

I guess.. if you like christmas movies.. you might like it?

Typical cheesy christmas movie.

All the new christmas movies that come out are just so cringy.. including this one imo..
