I thought it was super cute. Usually characters can be annoying but I really liked this one. Yes her bangs are distracting but I liked the storyline and message. I mean it's a hallmark type movie so what are people expecting? I've seen some that are so cheesy that I can't watch past 10 minutes, but this one I liked and was able to enjoy the entire movie. As usual the scenery was gorgeous and really got me in a Christmas spirit. That's what it's about. If you go in just wanting to feel the Christmas spirit, you'll enjoy it. If you go in with a critical eye then you won't. But like I said, there's definitely worse ones. This one is cute and nice characters, and even had funny moments.

Really good for a lifetime movie and speaks about the times. It's almost a social commentary on relationships nowadays with the lack of depth and social media taking over the lives of teenagers. People would rather film things than help. People would rather have followers than real friends. Yes it's cheesy at times but it's a teen lifetime movie. It kept my attention and the storyline stayed interesting. The characters are interesting too and had a lot of depth. I think teenagers and young adults should watch this as a cautionary tale. The bullying that can happen online can really hurt people in real life.

The negative reviews on this clearly show the state of our society that doesn't understand Power Dynamics and how victims, students (whether girls or boys), high schoolers, should not be blamed for the inappropriate relationships and abuse that goes on. It's disgusting to read some of the comments blaming the girls that have had this happen to them. They are TEENS. The adults know what they are doing and it is not okay.

It's time predatory behavior is held accountable and schools are safer for children. Obviously the hypersexualization of teens in the media and especially now with social media such as tiktok etc doesn't help anything and aids in making children more vulnerable and susceptible to abuse. It's sad. Parents and adults that care, watch out for the signs. Take care of our kids.
