    It's cheesy as heck but it's fine

    It's a typical love finding Christmas movie. It's really really cheesy. I usually avoid movies like that but I think it's ok if that's your taste. The acting is good enough although I have to agree that the chemistry between the two leads was a bit off. They are both cute and the acting is fine but there's something missing. I don't think it's the actors fault. They might have been miscast. As for how things play out in the movie, there's nothing new here. I was really hoping there won't be a big revelation scene. It would have been much better if they figured it out on their own without a big fiasco but that's one of the reasons why this movie is so cheesy. You can find all the cliches and cheesy moments we have seen a million times before. The bottom line is this, if you like cheesy love finding Christmas movies, this movie is for you.

    a x.mas movie...

    For all the lonely ones out there searching for a soulmate and lovemate, try this plot of love and you will be matched for sure.

    A decent christmas romantic comedy with loads of lights and props that gives a rush of x-mas, a story that you will hang on to due to its abnormalities, and last but not least the great and funny acting by the two mains, but also the rest of the cast. Its the chinese kidnapped victim from ''patriots day'' and the little sister of the balded boss of ''need for speed 1'' that recieves the price from the grumpy old man as some of the sweetest youve seen for years.

    Yes its sweet, and a little sad too, it has a good screenplay, and the editing gives you quite a few surprises that is so hilarious that i lolled my way through this all on my own.

    And that is not an award that i give away so easily, so try it if youre curious, you wont be dissapointed, here theyve hit the target very well.

    Good wholesome Xmas(ish) fun

    A woman goes to meet her online boyfirend at Xmas and finds out he is not quite what his profile suggests but has to hang around anyway.

    This is a great little comedy with a Christmasy coating.

    The two leads are funny and the situation they find themsleves in (although a bit silly) is entertaning and has lots of room for embaressing farsces to play out.

    This pulls at your heart strings as expected, but is more concerned with making you chuckle than it is spearing you with the Xmas message.

    This made a nice palet clenser between the sugary courses of Xmas films that I gobble down this time of year.

    I had a mini eye-roll when they started complaining about "It's cold outside" but the bit they do is actaully pretty good.

    As expected there are lots of beautiful straight-teethed americans, soppy moments and silly antics - a perfect addition to the Xmas movie roster.

    Cute Christmas movie

    Nina Dobrev and Darren Barnet are the main reason why I wanna watch this movie. Well, everything is cute there. It's very light and easy to enjoy. I think it's just very entertaining Christmas movie.

    But somehow there is a bit rush for the ending. I think it's mainly due to lack of chemistry between main casts so it feels like a forced happy ending. Well overall it is still cute though.

    Yippie Kay Yay ...

    Romantic comedies ... I mean we know how they will end, right? But it is not the goal that we look forward to, it is the way that we go together ... the experience we are having watching the movie. And how good the actors are in it. There are a few things that I am quite certain at least a few will not consider politically correct ... but the movie does try hard to be inclusive and really funny without being too offensive. Cut it some slack - comedy sometimes has to be edgy - or silly. Or both for that matter.

    Nina Dobrev who I haven't seen in that TV show that made her famous is really the sweetest thing ... well she can also be quite mean. But overall the character is rather sweet. That being said, her love interest is someone I did not expect ... even though he is on the poster. Which I did not really look at before watching the movie. Neither did I watch the trailer - obviously.

    A lot of funny moments, a lot of laughs and a lot of heart - or as the saying goes (there is one, right?): Love always ... wins.

    • Quotes

      Josh Lin: But then the insecurities creep in, and you start with just a slight exaggeration. Still you, just a shinier version. But... you like it. So you tweak it just a little more, until the real you, which was probably pretty great to begin with, is unrecognizable. But here's the thing. You're not just fooling yourself. There's someone else on the other side of that lie falling in love with a version of you that doesn't exist. And that's not fair because the only way it ends for them is disappointment. And the only way it ends for you is heartbreak. If I've ever learnt anything, it's that love doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be honest.
