L'alchimie de Noël

Script is muah. Pretty cliché and a bit cringe sometimes. Nonetheless everything looks great, and it's a fun movie where you can laugh about some of the simple and awkward scenes.

Another Netflix Christmas original starring the ever lovely Vanessa Hudgens. The film doesn't take itself too seriously and neither should the viewer. The sets are beautifully decorated, Vanessa's outfits are stunning and the warm Christmas magic and silly romantic jokes are amplified by the charming co-star, Josh Whitehouse as Sir Cole. This film has many plot holes and ridiculous, even eye-rolling, moments, but seriously, just suspend some disbelief, pour yourself some Noel Nog and enjoy the charming chemistry and warm Christmas spirit the two leads bring.

Around 30 minutes in the film, they show Vanessa's car with the tree on the roof of the car. Then you see the car without a tree on its top. Finally they pick the tree and you see the Knight trying the tree on the roof of the car...

It's cheesy and terrible, yet somehow charming and watchable, especially if you're into these cheap Christmas movies - like I am!

The one thing I will say is - if you own a decent 4K oled tv, this movies shows it off surprisingly well... not really where I expected to witness really good picture quality, that's something I would expect from a hollyweird blockbuster, but it looked great which really surprised me and probably made the film more watchable than it actually was!

The fact you can tell what's going to happen at every moment is possibly the best thing about this. If you want to chill have wine and watch something not so serious it is perfect for that. Very cliche and very cute
