Era solo un messaggio prima di Natale

I realize that GAF productions are obviously meant to be in the same ('tame") genre as another production company that makes you think of greeting cards, but geez, I was hoping GAF would 'up the game' a bit.

I enjoy the 'happy ending' romance genre with a certain select few of these actors (both male and female) but it doesn't mean I enjoy the same last 2 minute formula in so many of both companies' script-writing. Why are the characters scripted to be so annoyingly reluctant to express a bit of passion before the final seconds? As a male, I can't possibly fathom being such a dork in the company of a woman I am attracted to for so long of a time. It could work on occasion, but we are subjected to brainlessness most every time. I know that anything more than a close-mouth kiss is not going to be 'family-friendly, but do you really need to teach kids to be timid in expressing feelings to maintain family-friendly? How about you script a few where the relationship materializes in the first half of the movie and then have a story built around what transpires next?....just a thought to break some new ground. Unfortunately, the scripting in this movie, like so many from both these production houses, leave the viewer feeling the leads have no real chemistry throughout the movie, so much so that the ending comes across as effectively contrived.
