Saying Yes to Christmas

I feel strangely about this film. On the one hand it was very well made. The actors were great, the characters well written and lovable and the script was quite funny. The premise was also a breath of fresh air.

On the other hand I found the movie to be quite sexist to the point that I could no longer say that it's a good film, however well made it is.

For example: The man never helps the woman in her job while it is expected of the woman to help the man. The man is equally obsessed with his job as the woman yet he constantly criticizes her for it. The man literally forces the woman to only say what he wants her to say, repressing her free will.

These moments and subthemes made the film iimpossible for me to like but I have to admit that it's well made.

Goof: As they stood on the porch in the snow, he put his jacket over her shoulders, then as the camera draws back, there's NO jacket to be seen anywhere!

How did it suddenly disappear?

What a waste of money and time, must be a subsidized movie, garbage, totally waste of time, not impressed with acting, super predictable, nor sure why they use the word Christmas.

One of the most boring Christmas movies I have ever seen. Obvious ending. Waste of time. Characters had no appeal. Girl has been cursed with a spell and can't say "No".

A political correct film. For me, this is the main characteristic of it. And the pieces of cultural traditions - for drawings for presumed book to the chain of Christmas duties, the wish about yes about Christmas and the family atmosphere, the good job of Catherine de Seve and the multiculturalism / interculturalism bricks are just nice details for a not bad Hallmark romance, except, maybe, the romance itself who , in the last scenes, is only portrait of friendship.

But, sure, it is only Hallmark.

In rest, .Erika Prevost and. Romaine Waite are young and beautiful and the story of old budies just works in nice manner.

So, not just bad but the taste of political correctness is the most powerful.
