This is certainly not as horrible as so many people are making it out to be. Like a lot have said, Christmas movies are supposed to be cheesy. The kids are cute. The story really isn't bad. It is cute. People are saying that it's confusing. There's nothing confusing about it. People are saying the plot is all over the place it really isn't. One thing I do agree on is the acting is a bit wooden they all could've done so much better. Who knows what the heck was going on during the filming you never know. As I said in my heading, I certainly won't watch this again, but it was cute enough. No big deal I'm not going to cry/& moan and groan about getting my time back. I've always had a crush on Heather Graham, And always liked Brandy, and I've always liked Jason Biggs, & the actor that played Brandy's characters husband I remember him from zombie nation. He was great in that , but they really all could've done better! Now., onto the new season of the Crown!!

The best word to describe this movie was weird. I heard someone say it sounded like AI wrote it or something. And that is very true. I don't understand exactly what they were going for, it's like someone saw a movie before and decided to make one but really didn't have any idea what they were doing. Like an alien made it and was trying to blend in with the humans. Nobody was offensively bad or anything acting wise, so of the people in it I wondered what they were doing there as they were "too" famous for such a low production Hallmark channel type movie. Netflix is just shooting this stuff out and canceling good stuff, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I would not recommend this weird movie.

It has all the right elements, Brandy, American Pie, Austin Powers - hot air balloons, but it's completely unrealistic and feels like a movie AI wrote throwing in a play dough gumbo pot of all the holiday standards together, stir twice and put on simmer for an hour and 20 minutes. The decor in the film was great, lots of wonderful wreath ideas, very hallmark. But it was too many half thoughts thrown in with bad script. With out a good cast of Brandy and some decent adults, this would not make it to the musical number at the end. 2023 is not our year for entertainment, I will be canceling Netflix now.
