Good movie!
My wife makes me watch every holiday film that comes out on Netflix and this is hands down the best we've seen this year. A lot of the films out there are pretty cheesy but this one was very good. The story and characters are really grounded and it's hard not to smile throughout most of it. I'm sure Netflix will complete the trilogy next year and when they do, we'll definitely be watching.
VERY cute movie with lots of heart, and a much needed break from the madness of the real world. The young woman behind it, Lauren Swickard, showcases her twin talents (acting and writing) and stars with real life husband who plays Joseph. That could be why they have great screen chemistry. Manny is a great character who provides comic relief and the younger sister is adorable, very cute. All in all a great romance/holiday flick.
I love Lauren Swickard, she is such a charming leading woman! This was such a cute movie. I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for a film to watch with your significant other or a warm Christmas movie.
I love movies like this. The stars, Lauren and Josh, have great chemistry on screen and that makes the movie that much more fun. Fun second chapter for these two lovebird characters. Hope to see more installments of this and more from Lauren Swickard!
I saw this as the top trending movie on Netflix this morning and decided to give it a watch. It. I really enjoyed it. Good plot and good chemistry between the two leads. I'll definitely keep an eye out for more films from them in the future. It leaned a little bit more toward the romance side on the RomCom scale but still had quite a few laughs.
