Something from Tiffany's (2022) is a movie my wife and I watched last week on Amazon Prime. The storyline follows a young man with a daughter who plans to get engaged to his girlfriend for Christmas and heads to Tiffany's to get an engagement ring. As he's leaving he bumps into a man buying earrings for his girlfriend for Christmas. The man buying earrings is hit by a car and the guy with the engagement ring rushes to his aid and calls an ambulance. Of course their gifts are swapped in the process and the ability to get the gifts back is more challenging than the guy planning to get married hopes.
This movie is directed by Daryl Wein (How it Ends) and stars Zoey Deutch (Zombieland: Double Tap), Kendrick Sampson (Insecure), Ray Nicholson (Licorice Pizza), Shay Mitchell (Pretty Little Liars) and Leah Jeffries (Beast).
The casting was perfect for this movie and everyone delivered their characters well. The father/daughter chemistry and dynamic portrayals were perfect. The storyline has a modern holiday feel to it and is well paced and unique. There were aspects that were frustrating and felt unrealistic, but you couldn't have the magic of the ending without a few cheesy moments. I did find myself saying over and over again, "you don't know this lady to be this pressed," and "just call the police already." They did go a little over the top on how "bad" the girlfriend and boyfriend were at times. The accidental proposal scene was wild. The conclusion is beautiful and very well done and the soundtrack was perfect.
Overall, this isn't perfect but it is a worthwhile addition to the holiday genre with a nice modern feel to it. I would score this a 7/10 and recommend seeing it once.
