Review of Christmas by the Book

First of all, I love cheesy Christmas movies and watch many every year. I'm really not picky. Give me a cute story and a cute couple and I'm happy. I normally like the lead actress in this movie, but everyone was wooden in this movie (well, maybe the sister and daughter were not as bad as the others). And there was absolutely ZERO chemistry between the female and the male leads. I couldn't even believe they were supposed to be the love interests. After being totally bored for the first while, I finally fast forwarded to see how it ended, and it was not any better than the first part of the movie. Giving it 3 stars is very generous.
