Champagne Problems

Four companies are in competition to buy a french winery. Sidney is representing a large american company. And of course, she meets the son of the winery owner, and they hit it off. The silly but fun flula is in here as one of the competitors, but clearly, he's really here to provide the humor. It all works. A very typical meety your sweety à paris. It's pretty good, but could have used some twists or surprises. Not a lot new here, but it's cute. Written and directed by mark johnson.

Yes, its predictable, yes its cheesy but its also sweet, cozy and sincere. Definitely one of the better of these types of movies. I score movies against similar movies of their kind. You can't compare this to a cinematic masterpiece. Its another Christmas themed, turn your brian off and get cozy tv/streaming movie.

Netflix haven't had a decent one for a few years, but finally this was worth a watch.

Paris looks stunning, and unlike many movies like this it appears at least some of it was filmed in France. The cast are all decent, good chemistry between the leads. The lead actress reminds me of JLo.

If you like these cheesy xmas movies, I think this one's definitely worth a watch.

So, finally, a proper couple from Netflix. Two genuinely good-looking humans who actually feel like they belong together. The movie gives you those old fairytale vibes right from the start - the kind where everything is a little too perfect, but that's exactly why you watch it.

Yes, it's a typical Netflix co-romantic film. Don't expect powerful acting, and don't expect luxury-level direction or cinematography. It's simple, it's light, and at times it feels like it was made exactly to be watched with a blanket and zero expectations.

But here's the point: you will get from this movie what you came for.

Warm Christmas moments.

Cozy romantic beats.

"La Paris" covered in snow.

Nothing more, nothing less - and sometimes that's all you need.

First of all, if you do not like romantic comedies, where the right people end up together in the end, leaving you with a good feeling, then your ratings will be cynical. For those of us that like the genre, this was delightful and refreshing. A lot of different, whimsical characters, who make the backdrop of this movie enjoyable. Roberto is an absolute hoot. Does the movie follow a predictable pattern of a typical romantic comedy, of course it does, that's the nature of why you watch a feel good movie in the first place. Delightful characters, a reasonable plot, and quirky individuals that you just want to be friends with. This one had it all.

Minka Kelly is criminally underutilized by the film industry. I knew I needed to watch Champagne Problems just to see her. And I was reminded of her grounded, glowing presence. She seems both sparkling and sincere in the role of Sydney Price, with a smile to light up your screen and a slow cadence to all she says. Many of the Christmas rom-com tentpoles are in place: overworked career woman in need of an adventure, a castle with an unassuming heir, an unexpected work trip that falls on Christmas, etc. So, it will hit the spot! Additionally, they speak French for much of the film and provide a lot of interesting knowledge about Champagne, with some fun French sayings. There was a level of heart to the movie that I don't always see in generic holiday films. Maybe its Tom Wozniczka, who is a revelation! This one is a must see for fans of Christmas romance!
