Le rendez-vous de Noël

Yes, you can predict the twists and turns of this love story from a mile away-but isn't that exactly why we adore Christmas movies? The dramatic, over-the-top magic of holiday miracles is what makes them so endearing!

Christmas romance is Christina Milian's genre. In this movie, she takes us on a delightful Christmas escape to find the potential love of your life you crossed paths with a year ago. It's unlikely, but that's the magic of Christmas!

Adding the Pentatonix was the perfect touch to infuse us all with the holiday spirit! This easy-going Netflix original gave me all the cozy vibes I needed. Plus, I loved seeing the Black love interest bringing even more warmth to the story!

Overall, I'd say it's a solid 3 star out of 5-perfect for anyone wanting to kick back, relax, and believe in a little holiday magic!

What more can you want from a Xmas feel good movie, it made me laugh, few tears and felt good for watching it. It's a good Christmas film, acting is good, characters were ok. My kids loved it and I'd watch it again year after year as it's better than a lot of Xmas films I've seen in the past. Yes it had a few bits that aren't believable but who cares, it was easy to watch. The ending was quite predictable but felt good to see and a feel good movie is all about feeling good which is what it done for me. I now love the pentatonix and will be playing them all Christmas. I will be watching this again before Xmas comes around.

It is not as cheesy as many other Christmas movies. There were many elements I really liked, such as the music, the funny characters, and I love a quest that makes them wander all over town. There's actually a lot of good parts, but I was just confused by some of it. Does Roxy live in Chicago or NYC? It seems like they are at her apartment eating food in NYC. The restaurant he worked at, was that in Chicago or NYC? Also, I didn't like the song they danced to, musically speaking. However, much of the movie seems realistic. Just perhaps a little rushed sometimes? In the beginning, they could have shown quickly that a year had passed. I love the cast, especially Nikki Duval. Go ahead and watch it, but don't expect it to change your whole life. It's a comfort movie, which was probably the point. They can't all be Forrest Gump.

Category Rating (all out of 10) World 6.5 Visuals 7.7 Script 8 Story 7.5 Score 9 Characters 8 Pace 6 Outfits 9 Fun 8 Choreography 7.5 Overall: 7.72 rounds to an 8/10

Quick thoughts: The outfits starred, especially Layla & Teddy's lip-syncing contest tandem! I appreciated how the soundtrack slowly grew into the movie. Both Christina Milian and Devale Ellis nailed their respective roles, the professional divide kept the banter dry. Plus, I would love to run around a city doing side quests as an unknowing first date! The sets were the perfect pinch of Hallmark with a splash high-quality production to fulfill my holiday movie wishes. This silly rom-com will certainly be under my Christmas Tree this year!

Some of the scrooges reviewing this movie shouldn't be watching happy cheesy Christmas movies if that's not what they're into. Just like I shouldn't review a Sci-Fi movie I know I'm not going to enjoy.

A few other Christmas movies I watched were cringeworthy and seemed to have a really cheap budget, but I thought this one was much better. I liked the storyline and also the main characters. I don't typically leave reviews, but I thought it deserves a higher rating than what it has. You can guess what happens here, but I thought it was well executed and liked watching the story unfold. If you're into Christmas movies it's a good one!
