Deux cupidons pour Noël

What is with the audio and the music? Loud rings and bells and everything sounds like they filmed it in the bathroom. Horrible. Storyline and acting was mediocre.

The story is obviously a take on Cyrano de Bergerac. Even Holly mentions that in the movie. There are a few of the common Rom/com tropes, but a lot of the common Christmas ones are not in this movie. The general outcome is predictable.

For me, two things were noticeable on the negative side. The audio sounded like it was cut in a busy area like a bar because background conversations were distracting. Very annoying! And many of the conversations between Holly and either of the two male opposites were awkward. Strange dialogue. Those with Josh might have been meant that way, but it was even true with David on too many occasions. As a result it was hard to see chemistry with Elisabeth Harnois and Jonathan Togo, but there was some.

There are a couple of funny moments. The confrontation between Josh and the recruiter with what followed was a good one. David's "date" to the prom is a nice touch also.

According to this website, the filming location is Lafayette LA. That's interesting because snow on the ground is prominent throughout the movie. A web search confirms that snow is rare, even problematic, in Louisiana.

Watching on prime and I'm not sure if my internet is lagging or if the movie feels like its lagging its weird cause it looks cute but that is annoying.

Well that was a waste of time! I have seen Johnathon Tago (?) before in things and his acting deserves better than this waste of time.

Quite obviously done on a shoestring budget, probably of magic beans, the sound quality is like listening with a bin on your head. The acting of the others is poor but maybe had to be done in a single cut, the direction is all over the place as it the camera work. The few Christmas decorations are cheap and the end with all of the women throwing drinks over Josh, was just laughable. The actor who played Josh either needs to find another career or some acting lessons, although in his defence the script was so dismal that even the greatest actor would have struggled.

Dull, not Christmassy and a waste of my precious time.

Script. Plot. Camera work. Direction. Sound. Lighting. Acting. There are absolutely no elements in this movie that work, neither alone or together.
