This movie is definitely worth a watch but fair warning, it is one of those movies pretending to be a christmas film which really isn't. You definitely forget at some point during the movie that you picked this because you wanted to watch a Christmas movie.

You pretty much have to suspend disbelief with the plot right off the bat. I thought the leading actress was fantastic and she is the main reason this movie gets such a high rating despite the shaky plot and claim of christmas. She is very funny and expressive, I wish that she were in more movies. The conflict is ridiculous but not as ridiculous as everyone else's unjustified anger toward the main character.

First of all, I would have liked more details about the sister. She was apparently older but acted much less mature than the younger main character. I do not blame Carrie at all for being furious with her sister for suddenly wanting to take over the family business because her new husband wanted to. She just met this freaking guy it seems!

I also do not blame Carrie at all for being furious with Paul who dates her for weeks and allows her and everyone else to believe that he is her boyfriend and he is GAY. WTH? I assume they did not get intimate or even kiss or anything. Regardless, he had no right to be mad at her, he is the one who wasted her time. Even though she was technically using him, she did still seem to care about him. And I would have liked clarification if they had ever actually dated in high school or not.

The villain being her new brother in law's bf was a good twist and he had very good chemistry with Carrie. The best scene in the movie is the drunk scene and throughout the whole film, her assistant Zelda is adorable.

Again, definitely worth a watch but if you are looking for a christmas classic, this is definitely not it. It will likely bore and confuse you with some nice laughs mixed in.

A really good love story movie that I will be more than happy to recommend. Yes I say try it and I believe you will enjoy it like I did. James Welch Henderson Arkansas 10/26/2021.

As with all these chick flicks, they cast young guys that appear not to know how to shave yet have that slovenly lazy appearance that gives the impression that they are bad guys up to no good ... it would be refreshing to see a clean shaven man like james eckhouse as possible beaus for the leading women... not that april bowlby is a catch
