The production values of this movie are amazing - also on a large TV the costumes and setting are a feast for the eyes. The two cute leads also charm their way amazingly well through a script that is neither funny nor intelligent in any way. The thin and bland plot full of "romantic" stereotypes is further riddled by clicheed dialogue in nearly every scene and cardbox characterizations. The most unintentionally funny scene for me was when the mother tries to soothe her daughter with the tired old feminist / narcissist mantra: "You can be anything you want to be!" And what if she wants to be a toaster ;o)
So, this Christmas movie is really not worth wasting your time on, even as family entertainment.
