Skip to the last paragraph, if you don't want a detailed summary of this movie!
Sara works in advertisement and is a big pushover. Her boss, Dirk, constantly uses her ideas as his own and gives them to the CEO, Peter. At the annual office Christmas party, Dirk takes credit once again, this time for a game changing idea. Sara leaves the party, unable to stand up for herself. She runs into who she thinks must be the Santa of the party. He gives her the gift of a wish-anything her heart desires. Sara of course doesn't actually believe her wish would come true, but really wants to be more confident and assertive. Her friend convinces Sara to return to the party, where something comes over her. She immediately confronts Dirk about stealing all of her ideas. CEO Peter overhears most of it and the next day offers for Sara to pitch her idea to a huge prospective client. They fly to the meeting, but the client had already chosen another company, without canceling with them! Sara's new assertiveness gets them another chance at getting this client. Unfortunately, they have to go to yet another city to meet. They end up being late and the client refuses to see them. Sara once again saves the day and gets another meeting for the following day. Peter and Sarah spend the evening with his family, since their meeting just happens to be in his hometown. Apparently, Peter had a falling out with his dad and hadn't been home in a couple years.
Anyway, the meeting FINALLY happens, BUT now the absolutely inconsiderate client won't get off of his Bluetooth long enough to listen to the pitch. Sara's new boldness kicks in and she lets the client know how disrespectful he is being. Peter of course is furious that Sara ruined their chance. He tells her to go back home while he finishes up some things there (talking to his dad). Instead, Sara stays, without Peter knowing, and lands the client. The next thing we see is a very jovial Peter bringing dinner and gifts to his employees at the office on Christmas Day. Then his parents show up with more food. And Sara arrives to give him an envelope, which he opens after she leaves. Peter then runs after her, thanking her for getting that big client. Then they kiss and return to the party.
I was excited to watch this on the Frndly TV app. I had previously seen it on YouTube and felt that a chunk must've been cut out near the end. Nope. The movie was made that way, with a rushed ending. We don't get to see how Peter makes up with his father. And we don't get to see Sara's pitch to a prospective client. The romance part was also rushed between the two. The movie goes from Peter being completely cold to Sara for blowing a pitch, to running after and kissing her. It really made me wonder if Peter would've ran after her, if she HADN'T gotten that client. Sure, they had a little chemistry, but I don't think their connection was strong enough to kiss at the end. I still liked the movie for the sole reason that Sara learned that she had the power within herself to remain confident.
