    An Enjoyable Romantic-Comedy

    This film essentially begins with a young obstetrician by the name of "Sawyer" (Amanda Payton) being told by her supervisor "Bill" (James Jamison) that he has decided to retire soon and will be looking for a replacement to run the women's clinic. He then goes on to tell Sawyer that, although she has done an excellent job since her arrival at the clinic, he worries about her burning out because she doesn't have a private life of her own. In short, she's all work and no play. Needless to say, the truth of the matter hits home and causes her to become both disappointed and somewhat depressed. Recognizing this, her friend and colleague "Jules" (Sarah Jayne Jensen) takes her shopping and while there convinces her to fill out a fake engagement announcement using the name of her former boyfriend to cheer her up. Not long afterward, she then meets a young man by the name "Landon" (Adam Gregory) who asks her to join him for some coffee simply to please his sister "Hillary" (Scout Smith) who happens to be a patient of hers. It's during this time that the fake announcement is accidentally discovered by some of Sawyer's friends and, in order to please them, Sawyer convinces Landon to pretend that they're engaged. What they don't count on, however, is the reaction from Sawyer's friends and relatives when they hear the news. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this turned out to be a pretty good romantic-comedy due, in large part, to the acting of Amanda Payton and the chemistry between her and Adam Gregory. And even though the ending was a bit too abbreviated, I still found this movie to be quite enjoyable, and I recommend it to those viewers who might be interested in a film of this type.

    Better Than Imagined

    Xmas films are formulaic, and this is no exception. That said, the lead (Miss Payton) is too cute for words, and is the main reason to watch. Her chemistry with the male lead is not great (his fault) but her path to love seemed honest. And there are some good one-liners. Nice change of pace. And she IS adorable.

    The movie title is wrong and should be corrected

    The title of the movie is wrong it should be corrected. The title to this movie is A Fiancé For Christmas. It was a good movie I really enjoyed it. Its near impossible to come up with a new movie idea, sure this one has been done before and this one does it well.

    Farce!

    A Fiancé For Christmas/More Than I Wished For (2021) -

    I've definitely turned off better, sooner, but I did stick with it and I liked the romance that grew between them mostly.

    Although he was reasonably handsome and had lovely eyes, leading man, "Joshua"/Landon (Adam Gregory) was soooo gay! And so was her ex, the other Joshua.

    Amanda Payton as Sawyer and Adam Gregory might have been okay with a different director, story and less jolly background music, but it all just contrived too hard to be over the top and silly.

    The concept in itself was really daft and Marie Osmond (Mother) was far too much.

    It was a bit like a car crash, but I found that I couldn't turn away from it.

    I hate it when the characters lie and it gets too extreme. Nobody in their right minds would follow through with the idea to pretend to be dating for so long, especially if they actually did develop real feelings for each other.

    I'd like to see the two leads given a better opportunity with different direction, Etc, because I think that they were the reason that I did make it to the end, but there are other actors out there that deliver better for me without having to try so hard.

    3.25/10.

    Amanda Payton is a "10"

    This is a very enjoyable version of the fake fiancé trope thanks mostly to plenty of wit and humor in the script and the acting of Amanda Payton. She is adorable and hilarious. When the sweet tooth inflicted obstetrician stuffs a whole cookie in her mouth with her eyes daring the fake fiancé to say anything, I was sold.

    Amanda opens a private make believe wedding gift registry for some retail therapy. When it becomes public all of her friends, coworkers, boss, and mother think our workaholic too busy to date heroine is engaged and act accordingly with unrestrained joy and a bridal shower. Her mother even remodels a spare room into a nursery. As one thing leads to another and she feels too trapped to confess the truth and is forced to recruit the handsome brother of a patient into being her fake fiancé. Even her future career rests on not revealing her lie. Romance and hilarity ensue as Sawyer "I wanna marry this dough" and the agreeable Landon become more and more entangled.

    Unfortunately, Adam Gregory as Landon is too passive and not up to the task of keeping pace with the force of nature that is Amanda Payton in her role as Sawyer. He is conventionally handsome and just plain conventional, bringing nothing to the table other than his too perfect looks. There is no spark or chemistry although Amanda gives it her all. Marie Osmond is way over-the-top as the high-strung flakey Mom, totally unbelievable as a respected anthropologist, but she is funny. Will someone please tell her to get her hair out of her face though?
