Let me start by saying I love a cheesy Christmas Movie, but grab your potatoes this turkey is about to get roasted! Spoilers ahead! The movie starts with our lead protagonist and her wig (which will almost certainly distract you through the whole movie) doing some average dance movies in a cheap knock off of The Rockettes. Sadly, she is fired, allegedly because of her age, and not because her moves have not improved in 12 years. Her, and her wig, head back to her small home town where she has a most awkward meet cute, with our handsome, but bland, male lead. Oh no, her parents bar is failing, time to teach some attractive men her mediocre moves. Cue some decidedly tame striper dances and and our two leads hooking up with all the chemistry of adding some water to water. The whole movie concludes with our remarkably 2D protagonist giving up on her hopes and dreams for her equally 2D male lead. This is a movie that could have had so much potential if it had just chosen what it wanted to be, a sexy Magic Mike style romp, a feel good overcoming the odds Full Monty or just a Christmas Rom Com focusing more on the romance. Instead what we got was a mixed mess that was cute, confused and mostly dull. Thought about giving it 1 star, but I love me a Himbo, so added 1 star for the Himbos in our lives.

Went into this show quite excited for a reboot, especially seeing that there was a much more diverse cast, of strong actors and actresses. Unfortunately this show seems to be one of those cases where the writers think diversity is a personality trait. I found most of the characters bland, and though some of the plots were fun most of them just were not interesting, I found myself not caring throughout most of the show. The second part of the season got a bit more interesting, but still seemed to just breeze by at points. Tbh with you I have forgotten most of the conflicts in the show. Also the choice for Gossip Girl seems creepy, and a little nonsensical. Adults manipulating children. I really wanted to enjoy this show, but mostly it made for good background while doing other things.
