I absolutely love this film despite how 'cheesy' a lot of the dialogue can be - Marisa Tomei and Christian Slater make it worthwhile. He plays an awkwardly in love young man so attentive it knocks bustling young Marisa off her feet. Despite her having barely noticed him previously, living vicariously through her whirlwind romances. She slows down and discovers a real one instead. I still don't understand what it is exactly that makes this an undeniably magic Christmas film; but the leads are definitely the heart of it. It can remind anyone of the first time the fell in love, and the pure-hearted nostalgia of it. It can possibly even make you want to fall in love again, if you haven't already.. nothing I'm sure film critics would be kind to, but a truly sweet and timeless film.
