Michael Rady and Natalie Knepp in Une coach pour Noël (2017)

Review by VetteRanger

Une coach pour Noël

Nothing wrong with this movie ... but

The characters in this movie are likeable enough, but we found it a bit too busy and a bit too understated at the same time, which doesn't seem to go together when you put it that way.

We've got the "successful person returns to home town" trope. And she has an estranged brother who feels abandoned by her.

Then there is ANOTHER "successful person who found a small town", and it turned out he has a natural mother who put him up for adoption. Not really a spoiler.

Then there is the adoptive mother who saved the first successful person's life but later they find their philosophies on the world are at odds. And the two successful persons are a bit at odds for a while. Then we have the one successful person facing the discovery of the mother who put him up for adoption.

So like I said, the movie is far too busy with all these tropes, but even with all that potential conflict, there is no real sustained tension between any of these characters. That makes the story come off a bit flat.
