The Perfect Christmas Present

I am subjective. But it seems to me only a film with a Barbie and two Kens. Not convincing, fake, artificial, using in not the most inspired manner the recipe Hallmark Christmas films . For fans, maybe a good film. For me, a romance in labyrinth , with predictable end and a sort of unrealistic dilemma.

This is the sort of life I could be living if I'd had more of a plan and the ability to see it through. I would love to run the sort of service that Mr Christmas does. Ensuring people get the best Christmas present and letting others take the credit is a good thing.

It helps that the lead is seen in just his boxers and that he has that sultry, sexy Marlon Brando thing going on. I have to say though, that it would be difficult to choose between the two fellas here, as the other one is also quite easy on the eye and not the usual jerky character that we've come to expect.

It's a sweet romance and builds up to a big festive party. Cheerful and lovely.

In my opinion, the male roles should have been switched, as Sam Page could have played a better embarrassing villain. Very unconvincing character, I don't mean he's not a good actor, he just doesn't feels like he belongs there.

I enjoyed this movie. I really like Sam Page. This is the first movie I've seen of his but I'll look for others now. I did have a hard time warming up to the character of Jenny. She didn't come across has believable has the head of an organization. But overall I'd watch it again.

I can't think of having seen this premise before, although there is some similarity to Cyrano de Bergerac. It's nominally a Christmas story, but except for the holiday event, it didn't have to be around Christmas.

For me, a lot of how much I like this kind of movie has a lot to do with the relationship building between the leads and the premise provided a great mechanism for the leads to spend time together. Sam Page and Emily Peterson had great chemistry. Without it, the conflict wouldn't have made any sense.

I don't remember the first time I saw this movie, but I would think the surprise at the end was to be expected. That didn't mean it wasn't sweet.
