The only remotely likeable person in this movie is Jan and maybe a couple of the other Montana ladies. Of course E.J. and Will are supposed to start out as a little arrogant and antagonistic, but the problem is that neither ever really improves.
The story is doesn't really follow any of the typical patterns for Christmas romcoms, but then there isn't really that much of a tie to Christmas either. There are almost none of the usual Christmas feel-good moments. The story doesn't flow smoothly and that is especially true of the ah-ha moment between E.J. and Will. And the excuse for Will's nonchalant attitude toward E.J. leaving isn't presented well either and sounds shallow.
I might as well say also that E.J. going back to Lillah made no sense either, or if it did, then E.J. is even more shallow than I expected.
