Second Chance Christmas

Jack is lazy, undisciplined, and has an iffy relationship with the truth.

Caroline is demanding, apparently micromanaging, and is unethical enough to deceive her husband into signing divorce papers without knowing.

Jack, in conspiracy with Caroline's parents, continues to lie to Caroline more than a few times. They justify it by saying they are trying not to stress her, but he doesn't have enough love or respect for her to clean up the house even a little before she gets home.

All this in the first quarter of the movie. At this point I wasn't sure I empathized with either one of them. She becomes more likable after the amnesia, but I can't tell he has improved at all. In fact I dislike him more and more because he is so stupid in addition to every other flaw.

In some movies, personalities change 180 with barely any justification for it. This movie does a great job of explaining changes.

The last third or so of the movie disappointed me and I don't want to spoil anything as to why.

Dude, just clean up after yourself, and pay attention to your wife! Then she wouldn't have left you. No girl wants to accept such a pigsty.

A woman gets hit by a car, has amnesia, and forgets she was about to divorce her do-nothing, slacker of a husband and forgets she runs a successful event-planning company. Of course all her loved ones lie to her so she doesn't remember all these distressing details. And the viewer is somehow supposed to feel that all this deception ultimately leads her to some grand revelation.

It's pretty insulting, really. Just skip this one.

"Second Chance Christmas" is a Drama - Romance movie in which we watch a woman suffering from amnesia after an accident and she tries to remember her life, her husband and her routine. Her husband, family and friends help her as they can in order for her to remember everything as fast as possible.

I liked this movie because it was entertaining and it had a simple but good enough plot to make it interesting. It reminded the movie "The Vow" of 2012 since the plot is mostly the same. The interpretations of both Katrina Begin who played as Caroline and Tilky Jones who played as Jack were good and their combination worked also pretty good. The direction which was made by Danny Buday was average without something worth mentioning. To sum up, I have to say that "Second Chance Christmas" is another average Christmas, romantic movie with some cliché moments but still entertaining.

This Christmas comedy romance uses the Overboard formula and it works well enough. Amnesia strikes a woman about to divorce and the Odd Couple type pair get a second chance. Unlike the Groundhog Day thing which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Living together is harder than falling in love.

Katrina Begin plays the lady who loses her memory after an accident. Tilky Jones is her messy husband. okay for the role with his dude speak - it actually suits the irresponsible guy persona.

Charlene Tilton - Lucy of Dallas is mom and she is quite nice to see on screen again.

Worth one watch.
