It's a cute hallmark-y style of movie. It's not as Christmas- focused as the title would imply, other than the fact that it takes place during December/ leading up to Christmas. The best part is Manny (the actual ranch hand) and his relationship with Leo the driver. The only reason I wanted to write this review is to mention that whoever produced this seemed really preoccupied with throwing food - every slow motion montage meant to show relationships evolving and everyone is having fun involve throwing food: flour, whole tomato, croutons, more flour. It's a little strange and I have to say that it was honestly a little disruptive to the movie. Other than that it's cute if you're interested in a formula holiday film.
