Saying Yes to Christmas

A political correct film. For me, this is the main characteristic of it. And the pieces of cultural traditions - for drawings for presumed book to the chain of Christmas duties, the wish about yes about Christmas and the family atmosphere, the good job of Catherine de Seve and the multiculturalism / interculturalism bricks are just nice details for a not bad Hallmark romance, except, maybe, the romance itself who , in the last scenes, is only portrait of friendship.

But, sure, it is only Hallmark.

In rest, .Erika Prevost and. Romaine Waite are young and beautiful and the story of old budies just works in nice manner.

So, not just bad but the taste of political correctness is the most powerful.

Goof: As they stood on the porch in the snow, he put his jacket over her shoulders, then as the camera draws back, there's NO jacket to be seen anywhere!

How did it suddenly disappear?

The premise is like so many others. An assistant editor gets a chance to be full editor if she lands a new writer. Sent back to her home town, she runs into a childhood friend and ends up doing all the usual Christmas things with him. Meanwhile, he's trying to convince his dad to update their business. There is a twist from the usual though and that's the magic wish. Her friend wishes that she "says yes to Christmas" and it comes true. She literally has to say yes to anything Christmas.

Other than that twist, it is totally by formula and totally predictable.

As I often say, when the story is the same old stuff, the movie must succeed in the relationship. Erika Prevost and Romaine Waite have definite chemistry and they get plenty of screen time together. Prevost's resume is somewhat short and I've never seen her before, but she is very appealing both in personality and looks. She's younger than many of the leads on Lifetime and Hallmark Christmas movies, so here's to seeing more of her.

What a waste of money and time, must be a subsidized movie, garbage, totally waste of time, not impressed with acting, super predictable, nor sure why they use the word Christmas.

One of the most boring Christmas movies I have ever seen. Obvious ending. Waste of time. Characters had no appeal. Girl has been cursed with a spell and can't say "No".
