Marry Me for Christmas (2013) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a young lady returning home for Christmas who doesn't want to give the impression she's so busy at work she can't find a man, even if true...so she brings a coworker home she's interested in and asks him to pretend to be her fiancé. He sees this as a great opportunity to win her over. Meanwhile at home her family sniffs things out, especially her childhood friend that may be a better fit to be her fiancé.
This movie is directed by Roger Melvin (He's Mine Not Yours) and stars Karon Riley (Ambitions), Malinda Williams (First Sunday), Jason Weaver (ATL), Chrystale Wilson (The Players Club), Deetta West (Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins) and Tamara Bass (Baby Boy).
I really enjoyed the family dynamic, mix of characters and chemistry between the cast. Some of the scenarios were over the top but still fun to watch unfold. The plot is predictable and straightforward, as is most of the comedic content, but fit the holiday genre perfectly. This is one of those plots that are more fun than good but has some zings and cracks that make you laugh out loud.
Overall, this is far from a holiday classic but is still a worthwhile addition to the holiday genre. I would score this a 6.6/10 and recommend seeing it once.
