À la recherche de mon père Noël

This title seems a bit harsh, but is actually an accurate reflection of what I saw. I watch Christmas movies all year long, so have seen many, many of them, and this one was really a sad addition to the genre.

The two leads had no chemistry; in fact, they seemed to be bored with the entire enterprise. The editing had to string it out to the standard 90 minutes, and this left a plodding, slow narrative.

Actually, the best part of the film was the generic "best friend," played by Getenesh Berhe, whom I would like to see as a lead. Ms. Berhe was interesting in every scene in which she appeared.

Overall, if you have a choice of films, skip this one. It ain't worth the 90 minutes, folks.
