Christmas by Chance

This is a typical Christmas story based on the premise of a woman, Chance, hired by William to make a proposal to Leyla especially romantic. The story is nothing great. There are a few good gags and meanwhile the wrong couple forms a relationship.

I enjoyed good dialogue in this move with many clever and funny lines.

The other draw for me was the character of Chance played by Winny Clarke who is appealing and a bit quirky. Clarke also feels authentic is her serious scenes. She has chemistry with Jacob Blair

There's a scene near the end between Leyla and William which is like so many other movies. The thing is, this one feels honest too, not forced like almost every other one I've ever seen.

My favorite Christmas movie of 2021 so far, and I have watched a lot! If you are looking for a sweet Christmas movie with a super-likeable lead character (plus an adorable puppy), you will love this. I was laughing at the little funny moments throughout the whole movie - especially those British accents! It's everything I was looking for in a Christmas romcom!

This Toronto-area production follows a predictably Jane Austen-ish Christmas-movie plot. But it has an unusually strong Canadian cast, with Jacob Blair bringing the perfect look and demeanor as a patrician, slightly-clueless rich white dude.

Two things save this. First, there's an unusually funny set piece in which small-town female lead Chance (Winny Clarke) pretends to be a British noble. Second, there's the rest of the movie, in which blonde gal Clarke is completely upstaged by radiant Celine Tsai, exploding the typecast role of Single Asian Best Friend.

By 2021, we've finally got some fun comedy parodies of the Xmas-movie genre. But this one plays with the conventions subtly and almost unintentionally, and it's worth watching for those reasons alone.

I can't stand the formula anymore. Over smiling, all teeth all the time. I hate these things any. I turned this and the one before it off after 40 minutes for my sanity. I'm done. Tires of all men with 7 days beard, over smiling, over giggling, empty cups all the time, the female giving up her dream .... You know the rest of the cliches. I'm don't with these conveyor belt movies.

I'd rather watch 2 hours of comercials than this trash. Its rather funny that someone gave this 8 stars and then wrote some kind of paid drivel to make it sound good. This movie is just pure american trash. I dont even think americans know what christmas is even about anymore... as you can tell.. from movies like this.. I think I should send them the cleaning bill from the vomit I got on my tshirt after watching this.
