Miss Me This Christmas

I watched this for some pre-Christmas fluff. The acting is terrible, the plot is non-existent, the best friend gives terrible advice and basically causes everything.

The 'sister' film You Can't Fight Christmas is much better, with a better plot and better actors (although that's not 10/10 either!)

The movie was actually enjoyable in the end. The ending was satisfying and there were some funny moments too.

Even though the movie was corny and predictable, the cast was beautiful looking! But um c'mon now Franklin vs Ulysses Lol Franklin was was just too fine!

The movie was overall okay, and I was no doubt generous with my final grade. I gave it a six because although the plot was subpar, but the cast was beautiful and there were a few genuinely good and funny moments in the movie. The acting is good, but the dialogue was clunky at best. The most unbelievable part had to be the main couples reasoninng behind filing for the divorce in the first place. Also, a lot of the "feel good/supposed to be good advice" moments in the movie feel far too forced. Eva's acting was the best, she came off both believable and entertaining. Everyone else was just alright, if not utterly cringey at times. The plot was okay at best, and the movie ends on an expectantly happy note. It's basically a straight to TV movie, and that's the mindset it should be viewed with in order to be enjoyed. It's nothing to write home about, but it's alright.

Honestly the cast is beautiful and there are a few Christmas scenes, but this is not a Christmas movie, and it's not a good movie. If your standards for festive mindless watches are low, dive in. It feels like the amount of character development you'd get in a 30-min show, sporadically peppered into a feature length movie. You start to like the characters, but none of them really grow or change or learn a lesson and it's unsatisfying. I wish someone would keep the cast and change every other part of the film.
