Theres so much drivel put up against this movie online but truly its charming, light hearted, and theres lost to love about it.
A Great cast that makes you quietly smile waiting on the next line and charismatic feel good moment. I havent bought a movie in a long time but this one has already come into our collection and its the first one we’ve been pulling off the shelf every christmas in early december. I love the premise, the script, the mood, and the acting. Sure, it cheesy - but its a good cheesy - where you look around to see if anyones watching you smile while watching… and who cant instanty love Clarke? Theres something meaningful to her in this film, you can see it in the way shes carries herself.
Each star has brought something quirky to love to their sceens and the end scene is just a way to bring real humans to the ambience of a film that has life and feeling. Bah-huggers need not apply b/c you cant listen to 80s Wham songs and not be just a little sucked in. Warm hugs to all — in whatever year you watch.
