Actually a charming movie with good actors, decent chemistry and enough filled to make the first three quarters fairly entertaining. Then, as others have said, the ending is enough to make your blood boil.
The evil real estate mogul manipulates the lead and flips the property back to her a day late for a $1.3 million profit. And everyone is singing merry Christmas and thanking him for being so kind and generous to sell it back. Are you kidding me? Also agree with others that the lead was frustratingly stupid for signing over the property without reading it, given that she was supposed to be so savvy. And agree that she would have been able to sue the pants off her boyfriend/attorney for malpractice, because he clearly violated her client privilege by colluding with the seller to mislead her into thinking he would keep the property as is. Or because he conveyed to her that the contract would keep the property as is, an he clearly knew the opposite.
The ending of this movie is like if scrooge didn't learn the meaning of Christmas but instead sold tiny Tim a crutch for $150 and then let Tiny Tim sit on his lap and help count the gold coins at the end.
