Tous les chemins mènent à Noël

Lina is going back home for the holidays, and so is Max. The both live in NYC but their childhood home is in Colorado. So, you know how this is: bad weather, snow storms, flights grounded, no rental car available so they are forced to figure out a way to cross the country. We've heard this before. And will hear it again. No biggie.

Lina is a creative solutions specialist o something like that so the movie moves around her figuring out ways to get a ride onto the next state. Max works in tech and had a rough couple of months.

It was cute. Rachel Leigh Cook probably was my favorite in this. She is involved in a few funny situations, which definitely made me laugh. I honestly didn't care about Greyston (i'm sorry). There is no pre-ending drama, it's just them reaching their destination. Did they have chemistry? They did, but not the romantic kind. I didn't want them to end up together, I wanted them to be best friends, they'd probably had more fun. You know, if I had to bet on their relationship, they wouldn't last much (i'm just being honest)

Look, I want to think there are good people in this world who are more than willing to help you out during a crisis but do people in the US just trust blindly? Do they get in a car with a stranger? O sleep in their house? I live in Latin America, that doesn't happen. So, it's a bit unrealistic for me.

Anyway, it's funny and kind of cute. Rachel Leigh Cook always shines on her own.

A little slow, but overall fun. Cast was good. Rachel Leigh Cook is always good.

I'm not her biggest fan tbh, but I genuinely liked her character. She was fun and light, quirky but believable. I enjoyed the movie because of that. It was a nice fun Christmas movie. The male lead was good I guess, but if I had my choice I'd have cast another male lead that could play off Rachel Leigh Cook better.

6/10 - Hallmark's take on a Planes, Trains, & Automobiles type flick only works thanks to Rachael Leigh Cook's endless charisma

One thing that makes this movie different is the fact that the main couple shares practically every scene from beginning to end, starting as childhood acquaintances and slowly growing feelings for each other, a progression that feels too rushed in a lot of movies of this genre but in this case we truly see two people falling in love instead of just saying "I love you" just before the end.

The whole movie is a sequence of the most implausible and random events: usually this level of absurdity takes you away from the story and all you can think of is "What the hell were the writers thinking of!", but in this case I found myself enjoying every moment of it.

Also I loved the main actress, she's absolutely perfect for the genre. I'm happy to find that she's made other Hallmark movies, which I'm definitely going to watch.
