I like a sappy holiday romcom, and I really wanted to like this movie. I like the actors, and there were some good scenes that fulfill the checklist for holiday movie tropes. Everyone is nice and attentive, devoting full attention to each person as if delivering their lines in an after school special. Some poor voice audio issues knock the film quality down a notch. Unlike an after school special, there is no heart warming growth of character to make you feel warm and fuzzy about their story arc. The characters' fatal flaws remain unchanged and they ultimately take no responsibility for their toxic behaviors, leaving me screaming that they don't deserve their happy endings.
