As much as the movie tries to use the 'dead mom' shortcut to make us care about the main character, it doesn't work. Our protagonist is an aging pop star who hasn't made new music and is surprised when her agency is looking to move on. That's her conflict. Rich and beautiful but not as popular as she used to be - feel sorry for her now.
Insert tripe about her rekindling her creativity in a small Christmasy town with an underaged fan she found online, which is somehow meant to be interpreted in a good way.
The main romance between Angelina and the father felt clunky, incredibly forced, and had zero chemistry. It was a chore to watch. At barely 90 minutes of run-time, the movie still felt extremely padded, with many scenes seriously overstaying their welcome.
Give it a miss. There is nothing memorable or charming about the movie in the least.
