POSITIVES…
A well executed familiar Christmas romantic comedy premise with modern sensibilities.
Comedic situations and awkward interactions. Fun stuff!
What a fantastic cast! Mackenzie Davis, Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza, Dan Levy, and Victor Garber.
Kristen Stewart plays an excellent sympathetic audience surrogate of a lead character.
Mary Steenburgen and Mary Holland as Tipper and Jane respectively were an absolute delight!
Story moves at a great pace, successfully juggling the convoluted character connections, and plot turns.
Filled with entertaining scenes, like one involving a rooftop view, an ice skating rink, sneaking around, to a bar sing-along, plus several more.
The final act is exactly the way it should be for this Christmas movie.
NEGATIVES…
Familiar cliches and some unfortunate plot tropes.
There's a lot of comedy derived from the act of lying, which some might find annoyingly frustrating.
