Meet Me Next Christmas

6.8/10 (7) (Definitely Recommend)

I was browsing all the streaming services for a movie to watch when this one caught my eye. Immediately after watching the trailer, I wanted to watch this movie. However, I didn't have very high hopes for it. In the end, I would say it only slightly exceeded expectations.

The only thing I'll say, that may spoil the movie slightly, is that I should've been more aware at the beginning. The ending was not what I was expecting until about halfway through the film.

While "Meet Me Next Christmas" isn't super unique in its storytelling, it's the chemistry of the actors and characters that make it an enticing watch. Christina Milian and Devale Ellis bond very really well together in the pursuit of a non-existent Pentatonix ticket. There's a fun bond between the two that makes you cheer them on as they seek that ticket.

There's a humanity to the story. It goes beyond a love story, but includes an emotional connection between strangers. It's the Christmas spirit that really gets it going. Plus, Pentatonix for me has always been associated with Christmas because that's the type of songs I first heard when I was introduced to them.

Overall, I really enjoyed this movie and I would definitely watch it again. I enjoyed the love and human connections. While it's not super Christmas-y in its storytelling, for some like me, it may get you into that Christmas type of feel. It's a cute romcom with great chemistry between the leads, and while it has aome parts that are weird, they eventually make the film work. The end end overall is that it may seem cheesy to some, to others I do believe you'll have fun with it.

That's it for now. Thanks for taking time to read my review. Happy watching and enjoy the show!

Some of the scrooges reviewing this movie shouldn't be watching happy cheesy Christmas movies if that's not what they're into. Just like I shouldn't review a Sci-Fi movie I know I'm not going to enjoy.

A few other Christmas movies I watched were cringeworthy and seemed to have a really cheap budget, but I thought this one was much better. I liked the storyline and also the main characters. I don't typically leave reviews, but I thought it deserves a higher rating than what it has. You can guess what happens here, but I thought it was well executed and liked watching the story unfold. If you're into Christmas movies it's a good one!

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.

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.

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!
