The only reason this gets 4 stars is because of Colton Little. To him I would say this. It's ok to be relegated to the romance genre but please try to be a little more picky. For godsakes, and your own, fire your manager. If this is the best he can come up with for you then you are doomed.
Yes, to go on about this man because well, he just exudes sex. He's handsome with smoldering eyes, a square jaw, and a strong chin and he makes the struggle to get through this a little easier.
As for schmaltzy holiday romcoms, this is among the worst. The female MC is so hard to like, being a combination of writing and the acting itself. She is such the silly little schoolgirl to which she actually admits in the movie. And that squeaky voice. WTHF is that? When I watched this I was thinking this is the most egregious behavior towards friends I've ever witnessed in one of these movies and had I been any of them I would have told her to go %!?@ herself. It was shocking to watch them all so easily forgive her.
Is this a subtle or not so, form of misogyny on the part of the writer and a willingness of the actors to participate in? I believe it is.
Finding those good romcoms that are low on sap with good acting, production values, and story, is challenging but actually out there. Unfortunately you're stuck with this mess in your search to find them.
