A Christmas in New York

It's not an unpleasant movie, it's just a nothing movie. Nothing happens. Old married couple doing nothing. Young teenagers doing nothing. Business couple hooking up, maybe something will happen. Ex lovers trying to rekindle, maybe something will happen. Musician going nowhere.....and that was it end of story. Big yawn.

This film tried to be something deep and thought provoking. It wasn't. The premise of the film was good, but it never really moved from there. The gratuitous LGBT couple was nice but disheartened. The elderly couple lacked substance or finality. The homogenization of the rocker persona and the young and innocent couple, we're over done and sadly that horse has been beat to death. This film would have benefited from some type of a union, but obviously that was not in the great master plan of the writers and cinematographers.

I watched the first 10 minutes and realized it was never going to NYC. I was so disappointed. Really wanted to see scenes of New York in the snow at Christmas time.

Rock Center in the credits was all.

There was nothing Christmassy about this movie. A few poinsettias, a few lights and once in a while you hear a Merry Christmas. They kind of got the New York part of it right, if you count the few times you actually see the New York skyline/

Seeing the first few minutes I was pleased that this movie had a different angel on Christmas. I am feeling little tired of girl meets boy in a small town, they argue, have a snow ball fight, it starts to snow, they kiss and live happily ever after Christmas movie.

I was really looking forward to something different. Well, that is certainly what I got.

So different. So disappointing. Such a waste of time.

Life is complicated. Everyone is flight a hard battle.
